Fulton sues Ethereum Foundation, Buterin over her dismissal.
Kayleen Fulton, a former Ethereum Foundation employee, filed suit on Nov. 4, 2026, in the U.S. District Court for Colorado against six defendants, including Ethereum Foundation entities and Vitalik Buterin. The docket classifies the case under the Americans With Disabilities Act and employment civil rights. Fulton alleges she was unlawfully dismissed after challenging an internal Foundation mandate, and claims retaliation, disability discrimination and interference with her medical-leave rights. The Block reported that the complaint acknowledges management clarified that the disputed wording in an internal document was not literal. The docket records the filing, not a court finding on the allegations.
