ChainCatcher News: Vitalik Buterin posted on X, interpreting the Ethereum Foundation’s new mission statement, “EF Mandate.” He expressed his commitment to doubling down on Ethereum and his excitement for its future development.

Vitalik Buterin pointed out that Ethereum plays a unique role in the global digital ecosystem. Its mission is to become a “sanctuary technology” that preserves technological sovereignty and promotes collaboration in environments without coercion or domination. The core goal of Ethereum is to ensure that no individual, organization, or ideology can achieve absolute control in cyberspace, and to provide users with an “exit mechanism.” As the network’s “guardian,” the Ethereum Foundation will continue to focus on the CROPS principles—resistance to censorship and capture, open source, privacy, and security—and prioritize decentralization, verifiability, network activity, and security at the protocol layer. It will also promote upgrades like account abstraction to reduce reliance on intermediaries.

At the application layer, the Ethereum Foundation aims to create a “zero option” user experience that balances security, privacy, and user autonomy, working in synergy with broader ecosystem projects to jointly advance Ethereum’s development.
