Ethereum Foundation forms external council to uphold core blockchain values
The Ethereum Foundation has created the “Silviculture Society,” a group tasked to ensure that Ethereum upholds its core values.
The Ethereum Foundation (EF), the nonprofit organization supporting Ethereum’s ecosystem, announced the creation of an external advisory group dedicated to preserving the blockchain network’s core values.
On Feb. 28, the foundation introduced the “Silviculture Society,” a collection of individuals from outside the EF. It said the group will provide informal counsel to the EF and tend “to the (dark or otherwise) forests in the infinite garden of Ethereum.”
The nonprofit said the group would work to ensure that Ethereum sustains its core values of open source, privacy, security and censorship resistance. The EF said the network’s success depends on having committed developers who build with these values in mind.
