According to CoinEdition, Vitalik Buterin has signed the 'Trustless Manifesto,' a document co-authored by Marissa Posner and Yoav Weiss that challenges the rise of centralized relayers in the Ethereum ecosystem. The manifesto emphasizes Ethereum’s success should be measured by 'trust reduced per transaction,' not 'transactions per second.' Buterin shared the link to the manifesto on November 13, 2025, urging Ethereum teams to rely on math and consensus rather than intermediaries. The document warns against protocols that require trust in intermediaries, even if they offer better user experience. This move aligns with a16z’s push for trustless ZKP digital identities and comes as Ethereum faces growing influence from TradFi institutions.
