Ethereum R1 has been designed to uphold credible neutrality, full decentralization, and resistance to censorship within the Ethereum ecosystem

Quotes that support claims

“General-purpose L2s should be commodities — simple, replaceable, and free from centralized dependencies or risky governance. Ethereum R1 is our answer to that call — the rollup grounded in credible neutrality, decentralization, and censorship resistance.”

What is Ethereum R1? Fully donation-funded — no token, no private sales. Just ETH contributions from the public. Stage 2 from day one — permissionless proving, long upgrade delay period with a huge set of multisig with broad representation across the Ethereum ecosystem. Ethereum public good — Proportion of base fees go to R&D and app dev until 2030 — then they’re burned. Replaceable by design — no proprietary governance, no branding lock-in, no cult of personality. This is a rollup that belongs to Ethereum, not to a foundation, not to insiders, not to us.

Ethereum R1 is a new rollup project rooted in the core values of Ethereum: open global participation, decentralization, credible neutrality, and censorship resistance.
