Vitalik Buterin stated that the Ethereum Foundation has released a new EF Mandate, reaffirming its role as the 'guardian' within the Ethereum ecosystem. The document emphasizes that the foundation will focus on promoting core principles such as censorship resistance, anti-capture, open source, privacy, and security (CROPS). It will prioritize decentralization, security, and verifiability at the protocol layer, while driving tools and experiences at the application layer that emphasize user privacy and autonomy. Vitalik mentioned that Ethereum's goal is to become a 'refuge technology' that upholds technological self-sovereignty and avoids centralized control of cyberspace. https://www.(wublock123.com)/index.php?m=content&c=index&a=show&catid=6&id=58074
