The Ethereum Foundation's Global Policy Strategy (GPS) team released the "Ethereum Basics for Governments and Institutions" guide, introducing policymakers and institutional decision-makers to Ethereum's operating mechanism, governance model, and its differences from other blockchain solutions. The guide argues that reliance on centralized systems introduces systemic risks, while decentralized blockchains have the potential to reduce such risks. However, not all blockchains possess "credible neutrality"—differences in technical architecture and governance models directly affect their long-term viability as public infrastructure.
