ChainCatcher reports that the Ethereum Foundation Board of Directors has released a document titled “EF Mandate,” which clarifies its role and responsibilities within the Ethereum ecosystem.

The document emphasizes that Ethereum must remain censorship-resistant, open-source, and focus on privacy and security (CROPS) to serve user sovereignty, reduce the risk of economic exploitation, and optimize user experience. EF states it will focus on undertaking critical tasks that other participants find difficult to sustain long-term and describes the “Mandate” as both an internal action guide and a reference “partial charter, declaration, and guideline” for the community.
