#以太坊基金会推进DeFipunk

The Ethereum Foundation advances the core measures of Defipunk, focusing on six key areas: organization, standards, funding, R&D, ecosystem, and security, all of which are actionable:

1. Organizational Structure: Establish a dedicated DeFi team

- Create a new DeFi unit under App Relations, affiliated with the Ecosystem Acceleration system
- Key appointments: Charles St. Louis (former DELV CEO and MakerDAO governance architect) as DeFi protocol expert; Ivan (co-founder of Gearbox) as DeFi coordinator, overseen by Jason Chaskin

2. Standards and Screening: Defipunk Evaluation Framework

- Define the five principles of Defipunk: permissionless, censorship-resistant, privacy-first, self-custody, open source
- Launch Walkaway Test: protocols should operate normally even if the team disappears or founders act maliciously
- Prioritize supporting projects that meet standards; do not support centralized, custodial, or non-open-source DeFi

3. Funding and Resource Allocation

- Increase DeFi ecosystem funding in 2025-2026, with strategic capital deployment favoring Defipunk projects
- The Foundation manages its treasury according to Defipunk principles: individual staking and providing liquidity to compliant DeFi protocols

4. Cutting-Edge R&D Directions (officially clarified)

- Privacy: Collaborate with Privacy Cluster to promote ZK privacy and low-collateralization lending
- Governance: Support Futarchy DAO (prediction market governance)
- Innovation: User-controlled AI, high-throughput on-chain futures, native crypto financial forms

5. Ecosystem and Collaboration

- Build communication channels between DeFi teams, EF, and core developers to share protocol upgrades and needs
- Support DeFi activities, project showcases, and ecosystem linkages to strengthen community connections
- Promote open-source, composable, and verifiable protocols to reduce reliance on multisig/admin keys

6. Security and Decentralization

- Strengthen protocol security research: audits, runtime protections, trustless architecture design
- Promote decentralization of governance and upgrade mechanisms to eliminate single points of failure
- Reduce dependence on custodial services, oracles, and administrator keys
