As an Ethereum co-founder people sometimes ask me what has changed since 2014. The answer is almost everything. The tech, the scale and the stakes. But back in 2014, all our soul-searching boiled down to a single question: for profit or not? We chose non-profit to keep the Ethereum protocol and vision as pure as possible. Twelve years later, we're witnessing that same bold choice being made again. This time by @ethlabs_org, a non-profit lab built by researchers who helped shape Ethereum, with the independence to do what's right for its long-term future. Twelve long years and the non-profit spirit we chose back then still beats at Ethereum's heart. But one thing hasn't changed: Ethereum was never meant to belong to one person, one company, or one foundation. It was always meant to be a living and growing network of nodes, ideas, people and organizations. That's why I'm both happy and proud to join @ethlabs_org as an Anchor funder. I'm grateful to stand alongside my fellow Ethereum co-founder @ethereumJoseph and @BitMNR, @Sharplink, @snzholding, @krakenfx, @Anchorage, @Payward, @OctantApp, @gattacahq, @Lomashuk and so many other amazing supporters helping Ethereum’s innovation layer become just as distributed as its infrastructure. In 2014, we chose the non-profit path to keep Ethereum's vision incorruptible. In 2026, the ecosystem is choosing the distributed path to keep its innovation unstoppable. Both choices come from the same belief: Ethereum belongs to everyone, and no single entity should carry it alone. The multi-node future isn't coming. It's here. What a joy! ❤️
