CROPS for the Ethereum wallet ecosystem | Polymutex & Michael (Berlin Ethereum Day, June 2026)

Wed, Sep 2, 2026, 12:00 AM

Ethereum is built around a clear set of values: censorship resistance, openness, privacy, and security. Users experience Ethereum through wallets, yet most wallets today don’t live up to these very values. Walletbeat is L2BEAT for wallets: an open framework that evaluates Ethereum wallets through CROPS values. Polymutex & Michael (Walletbeat) walked through how CROPS values map to wallets, what the current wallet landscape looks like, and what obstacles exist for wallets to fully embody Ethereum values. They covered where the Ethereum wallet ecosystem is making progress, where it’s stuck, and what meaningful CROPS alignment actually looks like in practice for modern wallets. The Berlin Ethereum Day was a one-day event held on June 15, 2026, during the Berlin Blockchain Week, bringing together speakers from the Ethereum Foundation and the broader FOSS, privacy, and security ecosystems to explore the future of Ethereum and self-sovereign technologies - from technical direction and core values to the challenges and opportunities ahead.
