The Ethereum $2,222 Foundation, a non-profit organization supporting the Ethereum ecosystem, has announced the formation of a new advisory group aimed at preserving the network’s foundational values. This initiative aims to maintain adherence to principles such as open-source development, privacy, security, and resistance to censorship.
Formation of the External Advisory Group
The advisory group formed by the Foundation is named the “Silviculture Society.” It comprises 15 experts, including researchers, developers, and project founders outside the Ethereum Foundation. Group members aim to provide informal consulting to support Ethereum’s commitment to universal principles.
Vitalik Buterin, one of Ethereum’s co-founders, has voiced criticisms regarding some shifts in industry values. While noting certain societal labels attached to Ethereum, Buterin pointed out that different views exist in face-to-face discussions within the community.
Vitalik Buterin: “The decline in community values will reduce my interest in Ethereum.”
