Lubin was also involved in the creation of the Ethereum Foundation, a Toronto-based non-profit organization to be a "nonpartisan industry body, made up of [a cross-section of] industry players. It [is intended to] make sure the Ethereum infrastructure works fairly and independently ... like ICANN for the Internet."
