@AndyGuzmanEth We should go a step further, and move beyond the USD index itself

Have personalized per-user indices (think: consumer prices, labor prices, energy prices, rent)

then do PMs/options over all of the above

So combine https://t.co/efALVOuJjf and https://t.co/isSkr3901W

This is the new EF Mandate.

For many of you, the contents should be no surprise, and a clarification along the lines that we have been going and thinking for the past few months. But the clarification is nevertheless worth making.

Ethereum is a unique object and has a unique role in the world. Its role is to be a sanctuary technology, to preserve technological self-sovereignty, to enable cooperation without coercion, domination or rugpulling, and to provide an escape hatch, to ensure that no single person, organization or ideology's victory in cyberspace can be total.

The Ethereum Foundation is a steward of Ethereum - the original steward, and today, the steward specifically dedicated to preserving and expanding the above aspects of Ethereum. This means a heavy emphasis on CROPS (censorship and capture resistance, open source, privacy, security), both at the protocol layer, and at the access layer, user-facing applications and tools that we create or contribute to.

There are things that we do in Ethereum because we believe that they are valuable for the underlying goals that we have for Ethereum. There are things that we do not do because from the perspective of our values we find them uninteresting (or worse, harmful). But there are also things that we do not do because while they are useful, they are not our role.

At the Ethereum protocol layer, we focus on decentralization, verifiability, inclusion guarantees, protocol liveness, security and privacy first and foremost. We also value capabilities (eg. L1 scale, account abstraction, perhaps some forms of in-protocol aggregation), particularly because improvements in these capabilities better enable users to properly benefit from Ethereum's CROPS properties and displace the need for higher-layer intermediaries that might weaken the extent to which Ethereum's properties carry over into the full stack.

We also believe that the Ethereum protocol must strive to pass the walkaway test. "We do X to specialize to serve the use cases of today, if more use cases appear later, we will continue to keep adding more EIPs for them later" is logic fit for many other blockchains whose names you hear often on this forum, but we do not believe it is logic fit for a decentralization-first blockchain like Ethereum.

At the application layer, we focus on making "the zero option" - user experience that goes hard on ensuring security and privacy, avoiding dependence on intermediaries, and respecting the user's agency - as high quality as possible. We see this as complementary to work in the Ethereum ecosystem that "goes broad", starting from the world that it exists, and brings it onchain and improves its properties over time. Such work has its natural home outside the EF. We intend to be supportive of such efforts. We believe that the two are complementary: tools that are developed within the EF can be adopted by anyone, including partially, and even partial adoption that improves people's security, privacy and agency is a good thing.

But the form of user experience that is more heavily insistent on CROPS properties is where we want the EF to develop its center of expertise. This does not mean shrinking from the hard questions. We believe in a vision of self-sovereignty that protects users, and does not leave users in the cold to face environments where they lose their life savings if they make a mistake, and click "yes" on a confirmation screen by accident two seconds after. But such protection must be designed based on a philosophical baseline of empowering the user, not empowering centralized organizations that claim to act in the user's name. This quadrant of design space - caring about users' (including non-experts') well-being and safety, and yet insistent on doing this in a way compatible with their agency and freedom, is underserved (not just in crypto, but in the world). We wish to use Ethereum as a platform to build out and showcase this quadrant, and ideally work with others to expand its reach over time.

This is also a new chapter in how we see our position in the world. We must see ourselves not just as the Ethereum community, but also as maintainers of the Ethereum tool within what you might call the CROPS community or the sanctuary tech community, or a dozen of other words that have for a long time been used by people with similar values to us but far outside Ethereum. This means open-mindedness to new conceptions of what things in the world are our natural allies.

Ethereum is not the world. Ethereum is a specific object in the world that is here to have specific properties. The Ethereum Foundation is a specific organization within Ethereum - one steward, not the sole one.

I encourage all to read the mandate in detail; it includes concrete examples of how we intend to deal with the challenges and nuances of these ideas. We are doubling down on Ethereum and are excited about its next chapter.

Today, the Foundation’s Board released the EF Mandate.

This document, which was first intended for EF members, reaffirms the promise of Ethereum, and the role of EF within this ecosystem.

#ICP The article rightly identifies a structural truth: Bitcoin cryptographically solves ownership, not governance. This is not a failure of Bitcoin, but a consequence of its design choice — it governs the ledger, not the institutions that hold value on it. Where the article points to a missing “verifiable governance layer,” the Internet Computer (ICP) offers a concrete path forward without altering Bitcoin itself.

ICP enables governance to become programmable, auditable, and independently verifiable at the computation layer. Authority, approval processes, delegation rules, recovery mechanisms, and risk controls can be expressed directly as on-chain logic rather than informal policies or opaque custodial assurances. Control is no longer inferred from trust in an intermediary, but proven through deterministic execution and transparent state.

In this model, Bitcoin remains a neutral settlement and value layer, while ICP provides the institutional legibility that organizations require: not custody, but explanation; not concentration of power, but codified responsibility. This reconciliation does not dilute Bitcoin’s principles — it complements them. If Bitcoin’s next chapter depends on making authority decentralized yet comprehensible, then verifiable governance systems like ICP may be the missing connective tissue between cryptographic money and real-world institutions.

Speaker Announcement 📢

We are pleased to share that Andreas Tolias, Professor at @Stanford University and director of the Enigma Project will be speaking at World Computer Day in Davos on Tuesday, January 20, 2026.

Meet the Speaker:

Andreas Tolias is a faculty member at Stanford University and co-leads the Enigma Project. His research bridges neuroscience and AI, combining large-scale experiments with machine learning to uncover principles of natural intelligence. Focusing on perceptual inference and decision-making, his lab integrates systems and computational neuroscience to identify network-level mechanisms of intelligence. The goal is to reverse-engineer these principles to build AI systems that are more robust, trustworthy, and efficient, while creating platforms to test brain algorithms in complex tasks. He received degrees from Cambridge (BA, MA), MIT (PhD), and completed postdoctoral training at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics.
