Ethereum Foundation: The Account Abstraction team, together with Vitalik, released "The Trustless Manifesto" and placed it on-chain.

Techub News: The Ethereum Foundation posted on the X platform, announcing that the Account Abstraction team, together with Vitalik Buterin, has released "The Trustless Manifesto" and placed it on-chain. Ethereum was not originally created to enhance financial efficiency but to enable people to collaborate without the need to trust intermediaries. This manifesto clearly articulates a series of related values, including credible neutrality, self-custody, verifiability, and resistance to the "convenient" centralized model.

The manifesto is stored in its entirety as an on-chain contract and provides a single operation: pledge(). This contract has no owner, no administrator, and its text content is uneditable; all operations rely on the Ethereum network. When the pledge() operation is called, the system records the caller's address and the timestamp of the first pledge, and emits a public Pledged(address, timestamp) event. This operation only consumes Gas fees and does not provide any form of incentives such as airdrops, points, or early access. If relevant parties make a pledge, it indicates their focus on the importance of user-authorized operations, their desire to avoid having their protocols rely on private servers and opaque relays, and their willingness to bear the actual costs to maintain Ethereum's trustless nature.
