Ethereum Foundation
FoundationInvestment thesis
The EF operates as a steward of the Ethereum ecosystem rather than a traditional investor. Its philosophy centers on long-term thinking, measuring impact in decades rather than quarters, and on 'subtraction' — deliberately limiting its own power and distributing opportunities to the broader community to keep Ethereum decentralized and sustainable. It emphasizes stewardship of Ethereum's core values, including decentralization and open access, aiming to preserve the ecosystem's foundational principles without controlling its natural growth.
