PANews reported on November 13th that the Ethereum Foundation announced on the X platform that the Account Abstraction team, together with Vitalik Buterin, released the "Trustless Manifesto" and placed it on-chain. Ethereum was not founded to improve financial efficiency, but rather to enable collaboration without trustworthy intermediaries. This manifesto clearly outlines a series of related values, including trust neutrality, self-custody, verifiability, and resistance to "convenient" centralized models. The declaration is stored in its entirety as an on-chain contract and provides a single operation: `pledge()`. This contract has no owner or administrator, the text is uneditable, and 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 commitment, and emits a public `Pledged(address, timestamp)` event. This operation only consumes gas fees and does not provide any form of incentive such as airdrops, credits, or early access. If a party makes a commitment, it indicates that they value the importance of user-authorized operations, do not want their protocol to rely on private servers and opaque relays, and are willing to bear the actual costs to maintain Ethereum's trustless nature.PANews reported on November 13th that the Ethereum Foundation announced on the X platform that the Account Abstraction team, together with Vitalik Buterin, released the "Trustless Manifesto" and placed it on-chain.
