The Ethereum Foundation: The Account Abstraction Team and Vitalik jointly publish the Declaration of No Trust and put it on the chain

The Ethereum Foundation said in a post on the X platform that the Account Abstraction team and Vitalik Buterin jointly issued the "Manifesto of No Trust" and put it on the chain. Ethereum was not founded to improve financial efficiency, but to enable people to collaborate without trusting intermediaries. The manifesto articulates a range of related values, including trusted neutrality, self-hosting, verifiability, and resistance to the "convenient" centralization model.
The manifesto stores the full text in the form of an on-chain contract and provides a unique operation: pledge (). This contract has no owner, no administrator, and the text content cannot be edited. All operations rely on the Ethereum network. When the pledge () operation is called, the system will record the address of the caller and the timestamp of the first commitment, and issue a public Pledged (address, timestamp) event. This operation only consumes gas fees and does not provide any form of incentive such as airdrops, credits, or early access rights. If the relevant party makes a commitment, it shows that it is concerned about the importance of user-autonomous authorization operations, does not want its own protocol to rely on private servers and opaque repeaters, and is willing to bear the actual cost to maintain the trustless nature of Ethereum.
