Notes from the Ethereum Foundation’s Protocol Security team on running coordinated AI agents against real protocol code, including how we organize the work, what holds up under scrutiny, and what client teams and security researchers can take from it. This… Continue Reading →
Current global shifts clearly signal a critical need for shared, neutral digital public infrastructure outside the control of any single centralized actor. As a public, programmable network designed to operate without reliance on any single party, Ethereum was built to… Continue Reading →
Today, the EF is changing shape, concluding a months-long process of reorganization as part of the implementation of the Mandate and the Treasury Management Policy. We come out of this process with the structure, activities, and people necessary for execution… Continue Reading →
This chapter describes the game theory and economic security modelling we were doing in the Fall of 2014. It recounts how the “bribing attacker model” led our research directly to a radical solution to the long range attack problem. Chapter… Continue Reading →
This second category of advisors should be your advisors from day one. IMO even having the first kind of advisor during the sale should be viewed as being a bad actor.
An Ethereum Working Group consisting of wallet developers, security firms and the Ethereum Foundation’s Trillion Dollar Security Initiative today launched an open standard designed to end blind signing — a structural flaw that has contributed to billions in user losses,… Continue Reading →

A semi-regular gathering of Ethereum core devs from various client teams, or interop, recently took place in Svalbard, Norway. Over the week-long event, teams focused on hardening and preparation for the next upgrade, Glamsterdam. Several important milestones came out of… Continue Reading →
Q1 2026 continued our focus on strengthening Ethereum’s foundations, with sustained investment in core domains like cryptography, zero-knowledge proofs, security, and protocol research. See the list below of the projects and ecosystem efforts we supported this quarter as builders advance… Continue Reading →
In late 2024, the Ethereum Foundation, together with Secureum, The Red Guild, and Security Alliance (SEAL), launched the ETH Rangers Program, an initiative to provide stipends for individuals doing public goods security work in the Ethereum ecosystem. The goal of… Continue Reading →
Ethereum’s All Core Developer calls can be a lot to keep up with, so this “Checkpoint” series aims for periodic high-level updates, depending on what’s happening in core development. See the previous update here. !image…
I think this article really deserves a bold clarification/correction. It uses “transaction volume” in a few places as a synonym for “total quantity of ETH sent”, which is not a usage of that term that I have ever seen in… Continue Reading →
*The North Star of the Platform team is for Ethereum to scale as a cohesive system and enable confident adoption by all users. This post is intended to share our perspective on the L1 \ L2 relationship, the roles of… Continue Reading →
Dearest Friends, Today we are publishing the EF Mandate, a document that serves as part constitution, part manifesto, and part guide for the Ethereum Foundation. It is written primarily for the EF itself: to be clear about what we are… Continue Reading →
The commons called. It wants a runway. Every so often, in the blockchain world’s usual cycle of funding scares, a team maintaining a widely used open source public good declares mayday. Libp2p is a core infrastructure stack that powers multiple… Continue Reading →
The Ethereum Foundation has begun staking a portion of its treasury, in line with its Treasury Policy announced last year. Approximately 70,000 ETH is being staked with rewards directed back to the EF treasury….
DeFi isn’t a speculative bet on the future. It’s the inevitable evolution of finance, driven by a fundamental truth: financial autonomy is a right, not a privilege. And it’s been a critical driver of Ethereum’s growth and adoption. We want… Continue Reading →
This is very useful. This basically means that any future application could automatically whitelist KGT holders as part of either a “N tokens per person” airdrop, or for another application or sale that needs to exclude US buyers. If someone… Continue Reading →
We introduced Protocol last June which organized our work around three strategic initiatives: Scale L1, Scale Blobs, and Improve UX. A lot has happened since then! In this post, we want to share what we accomplished last year, how our… Continue Reading →
