Brume

The Brume Foundation is closing, After two years of trying to bring privacy to Ethereum as a non-profit, We needed to defend ourselves every day from fudders, People acting crazy from other foundations (Ethereum Foundation, WalletConnect), Building free open-source softwares with tight budgets, We couldn't support this much pressure while staying free and non-profit, This is why we are closing the Brume Foundation as you know it, And evolving into something else, with greater power, thus greater responsibilities. — The Brume Company ☁️

BEWARE TRAVELING TO 🇭🇰 HONG KONG WITH BITCOIN HARDWARE WALLETS Hong Kong has updated enforcement rules under the National Security Law as of March 23, 2026. Refusing to provide passwords or decryption assistance to police is now a criminal offense, covering ALL personal devices including phones, laptops, and likely hardware wallets. The rule applies to everyone in Hong Kong, including US citizens, even if only transiting through the airport. Authorities also have expanded powers to seize and retain devices they claim are linked to national security investigations. Travelers are advised to understand the risks before entering or transiting through the region.

Thank you. I’d just like to ask if this same pledge to refuse to work for the EF applies to every organization enforcing a values subscription to contribute—such as ETH’s Contributor Covenant or any other “inclusivity” code of conduct—or only EF’s mandate. And if so, why?
