Wu said that he learned that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin published an article titled "Making Ethereum Alignment Clarifying", discussing how to find a balance between decentralization and cooperation. Vitalik proposed further refining the concept of "alignment" into specific attributes, such as open source, open standards, decentralization, and security. Vitalik said that his ideal goal is to see more entities like L2beat emerge to track the extent to which individual projects meet the above standards and other standards proposed by the community. But the Ethereum Foundation should distance itself from most such projects: we fund L2beat, but we should not become L2beat.
