Ethereum Foundation adds security researcher and manifesto author to board

The Ethereum Foundation announced the expansion of its board of directors, increasing the membership to four. One new director is the pseudonymous security researcher known as pcaversaccio, recognized for vulnerability disclosures and open‑source security tools used across the Ethereum ecosystem. The appointment underscores the Foundation’s focus on protocol integrity and smart‑contract safety at the governance level.

In a separate but related announcement, the Foundation identified the author of the Ethereum Cyberpunk Manifesto as another new board member. The manifesto aligns with the original cypherpunk principles that shaped Ethereum’s development, signaling a continued emphasis on privacy, decentralisation, and permissionless innovation. Neither announcement detailed specific duties, term limits, or immediate changes to the technical roadmap, but both appointments suggest a shift toward values‑aligned and security‑focused stewardship of the network.
