[Ethereum Foundation Establishes DeFi Team to Promote 'DeFipunk' Development] Odaily Planet Daily News: The Ethereum Foundation has announced the establishment of a dedicated DeFi support team, setting up a DeFi unit under the App Relations department to promote the development of decentralized finance protocols and strengthen its 'DeFipunk' vision. The new team has appointed former DELV CEO and MakerDAO governance framework designer Charles St. Louis as DeFi Protocol Specialist, with Gearbox Protocol co-founder Ivan (ivangbi) serving as DeFi Coordinator, and overall App Relations work led by Jason Chaskin. The Ethereum Foundation stated that its ideal DeFi should possess characteristics such as permissionless access, censorship resistance, privacy prioritization, self-custody, and open-source principles, emphasizing support for projects that truly align with these principles. Charles St. Louis remarked that 'DeFipunk' represents a core philosophy: DeFi should not merely be an improved version of traditional finance but should become a financial system that can only exist on Ethereum.
