The Ethereum Foundation Board officially published the 38-page EF Mandate, a foundational document codifying its principles, philosophy, and role within the Ethereum ecosystem.

Vitalik Buterin first introduced the concept of the 'Walkaway Test', a principle later formalized in the EF Mandate, designed to ensure Ethereum could thrive even without the EF.

The Ethereum Foundation underwent significant internal leadership restructuring during the summer of 2025, which served as the context for the Mandate's subsequent creation.
