Vitalik Buterin said DeFi is a core part of Ethereum’s value, and that the Ethereum Foundation (EF) will prioritize permissionless, open-source, privacy-first and security-first finance that minimizes intermediaries and strengthens user asset control, rather than broadly supporting “onchain finance.” He added that DeFi should move beyond surface-level products like stablecoins and focus on deeper problems such as risk management and future expense hedging, with protocols designed to pass the “walkaway test.“ https://x.com/VitalikButerin/status/2026338053162414545
