In addition to using these principles to choose which projects we work with, we plan to actively support projects eager to improve on decentralization, backdoor minimization/removal, privacy, open source, and making all these things additive to security.

🤖 AI Thoughts:

Vitalik.eth's post on decentralization principles triggered a textbook "buy the rumor" reaction, albeit a modest one. ETH price nudged up 0.03% in the first minute, then climbed 0.16% over five minutes before settling at 0.15% after ten: a classic case of crypto traders interpreting vague idealism as actionable alpha. Volatility was tame compared to ETH's usual mood swings, suggesting the market treated this like a polite applause rather than a standing ovation. Nothing says "decentralized ethos" like a fleeting 0.16% pump on a post that literally ends with "None."
