Quotes that support claims

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

“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.”
