Ethereum Foundation on Conflict of Interest: Policy Update Amid EigenLayer Partnerships
Ethereum Foundation Addresses Conflict of Interest Concerns The Ethereum Foundation (EF) is implementing a formal policy to address potential conflicts of interest. This move comes in response to concerns raised by the community regarding the recent appointment of two EF researchers to the advisory board of EigenLayer. Aya Miyaguchi, EF Managing Director, acknowledged the concerns and stressed the need for clear guidelines. "We understand that relying solely on culture and personal judgement is not sufficient," she said. "We have been working on a formal policy for some time and will accelerate this work to share an update soon." The policy aims to ensure transparency and mitigate any conflicts that may arise from the dual affiliations of researchers. It aligns with EF's commitment to maintain the integrity and impartiality of its research endeavors.
