Joseph Lubin, co-founder of Ethereum and CEO of Consensys, has voiced strong support for Ethereum Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs), referring to them as a “profound innovation” in the crypto space. Speaking at Consensus 2026, Lubin highlighted companies like Strategy, SharpLink, and BitMine as exemplary DATs that accumulate ETH without leverage, effectively creating permanent capital for the ecosystem. He warned against weak imitations that could introduce risk, emphasizing the importance of disciplined, unlevered ETH treasuries. In a significant show of commitment, Lubin and Consensys have pledged 30,000 ETH to DeFi United’s recovery efforts following the KelpDAO exploit, underscoring the collaborative spirit of Ethereum’s community. Additionally, he discussed Ethereum’s roadmap toward quantum-safe cryptography, contrasting it with Bitcoin’s challenges in migrating vulnerable addresses. These moves reinforce Lubin’s vision of Ethereum as a resilient, forward-looking platform.
