The Ethereum Foundation releases the "EF Mandate" document, reaffirming the core mission of the network

The Ethereum Foundation Board has released a document titled "EF Mandate," which systematically outlines its role and responsibilities within the Ethereum ecosystem.

The document emphasizes that Ethereum must remain censorship-resistant, open-source, and focused on privacy and security (CROPS) to serve user sovereignty, reduce the risk of economic capture, and optimize the user experience. The EF states that it will focus on undertaking key tasks that other participants find difficult to be responsible for in the long term, and indicates that this "Mandate" serves as both an action program for internal members and a "part charter, part declaration, and part guideline" for community reference.
