The foundation’s action comes after researchers Justin Drake and Dankrad Feist disclosed receiving significant EigenLayer token incentives. Drake highlighted the substantial value of the tokens, potentially surpassing all his other assets.&nbsp; 
Miyaguchi reiterated the foundation’s dedication to its role within the blockchain community. She acknowledged that previous reliance on culture and individual judgment was insufficient. The new policy aims to formalize the approach to conflict resolution and enhance the foundation’s integrity.

This development marks a significant step in addressing community concerns and ensuring the foundation’s actions align with its ethical standards.
