Ethereum Protocol has seven most established protocols, significantly Aragon along with Aave Labs, Curve, Lido Labs Foundation, Spark Foundation, The Global Foundation, and the Uniswap Foundation. This unwavering platform of Ethereum Protocol Teams jointly announced the exclusive launch of the Ethereum Protocol Advocacy Alliance (EPAA). The aim of this giant gathering is to defend basic infrastructure protecting over $100 billion in on-chain assets directly.
This struggle is nominated as a public interest in the pursuit of digital assets to grow. According to the Crypto Survey 2025 by Strategy & PwC network, rough figures of 5% to 20% retail investors are turning to crypto. In the United States, polling from the decentralized finance (DeFi) Education Fund and Ipsos revealed that 56% of Americans want full control over their assets or money.
Ethereum Protocol Alliance Unites to Strengthen OnChain Governance and Decentralization
Ethereum protocols allowed users to self-custody in the past decades and transact directly with their assets. Now, centralized actors invested strongly in lobbying and earned outsized influence in policymaking. The purpose of this giant gathering is to build a strong protocol by utilizing their expertise to ensure a strong voice to reflect the policy in a real sense and serve the people who access them worldwide.
Anthony Leutenegger, CEO of Aragon, said, “We’ve seen firsthand the technical and practical complexity involved in building on-chain systems. Bringing together the most credible protocol teams will help ensure regulatory outcomes are workable for the builders moving this space forward.”
In response to Anthony Leutenegger, Sam Kim, Chief Legal Officer of Lido Labs Foundation, expressed his views. He said, “Decentralization is the foundation of Ethereum’s credibility and resilience, and through the EPAA, we’re ensuring that policy recognizes and protects this principle.”
Ethereum Protocol Alliance Upholds Neutrality and Permissionless Innovation
As per the details shared by Aragon, Brian Nistler (General Counsel of the Uniswap Foundation) also added some words. He said, “The Uniswap ecosystem has faced undue regulatory scrutiny in the past—that’s why we know how critical it is for actual builders to have a seat at the table when policy for decentralized financial systems is being shaped.”
In short, this alliance will focus on protecting the neutrality of the protocol layer, advancing on-chain transparency, preserving flexibility for protocol inception, and upholding global permissionless access to on-chain infrastructure. In a nutshell, this struggle ensures ruling effectively, technically rooted, and protective of the principles that keep Ethereum protocols secure, effective, neutral, and transparent.
