Vitalik Buterin published a roughly 1,500-word post on X Sunday addressing the recent wave of departures and criticism around the Ethereum Foundation.Buterin said the EF is choosing “longevity over breadth,” selling less ETH and focusing exclusively on Ethereum’s “CROPS” properties of censorship/capture resistance, open source, privacy, and security.He stressed the post reflected only his personal view, not a board position, and said his own power within the organization “will continue to decrease, which is honestly what I want.”
