[Ethereum Foundation: Hardware Trust "In Freefall," Welcomes Developers of Open and Verifiable Chips] The Ethereum Foundation stated that trust in hardware has recently "entered freefall." The Foundation agrees with Vitalik Buterin's views expressed at Devcon 8 in Mumbai, India, deeming this situation unacceptable. The Foundation stated that users should not need to hack into their TVs or disassemble hardware wallets to verify device trustworthiness; accessible, open, and verifiable chips are essential, and Ethereum welcomes teams developing such chips. The post included a 26-second video of Vitalik titled "We Need to Be Able to Trust Our Hardware."
