Ethereum Foundation Adds Security Expert to Board Amid Leadership Turnover

The Ethereum Foundation has appointed Pascal Caversaccio, a security researcher and co-founder of SEAL 911, to its board. This addition comes after months of leadership turnover within the organization.

Caversaccio's background is in blockchain security and incident response. He has advised the Ethereum Foundation through its Silviculture Society, which focuses on preserving Ethereum's core principles, including censorship resistance and open-source development.

The appointment may signal an effort to strengthen security and privacy expertise at the governance level, as critics have warned that without stronger privacy protections, Ethereum could risk becoming a public surveillance infrastructure rather than a tool for user sovereignty.
