A report by the Proof of Stake Alliance (POSA) urges the Ethereum community to consider the legal and policy implications of inclusion lists, a proposed mechanism to ensure censorship resistance on the blockchain. While inclusion lists can enhance Ethereum's principles of credible neutrality and censorship resistance, they also raise concerns about regulatory compliance and legal liabilities. The report calls for a nuanced discussion to balance technical solutions with Ethereum's ethos and practical implications for network participants. It emphasizes the need to define credible neutrality in order to assess proposed changes to Ethereum and advocates for active engagement with policymakers to clarify the distinctions between blockchain infrastructure and specific applications.
