Decentralization is viewed as essential to preventing censorship, increasing transparency, and creating more resilient systems. It’s a response to centralized systems that can be manipulated, controlled, or restricted by governments or large entities.

The Ethereum community fosters a culture of experimentation and continuous improvement that embraces cutting-edge technologies. Ethereum values technical progress and disruption, welcoming new ideas that challenge traditional systems. Developers can experiment with innovative financial products and money legos, governance systems, and even new social structures.

Collaboration is seen in the various Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs), as well as governance via All Core Devs (ACD) calls and the various research forums and grants programs. The community continually engages in public discussions to shape the future of the protocol, creating a shared vision and sense of responsibility.

Ethereum’s ecosystem, particularly DeFi, aims to create a more inclusive financial system. It opens access to financial services for individuals and regions that might be underserved or excluded by traditional banking systems. Ethereum allows people to engage in lending, borrowing, trading, and saving without the need for intermediaries.

Ethereum values the idea of resilience, both in terms of its technology and the community that supports it. By designing a network that can withstand attacks, failures, and external pressures, Ethereum emphasizes robustness.
