Open Hardware on Its Own Doesn’t Solve the Trust Problem
Excellent work. I completely agree that today the easiest option to develop safe hardware is using FPGAs.Two things to look forward:   1. Usage of open source FPGA synthesis and implementation tools
   2. Usage of open source FPGA chips :)

I've already seen some traction happening for open source FPGA tools, but open source FPGA chips are only in my head (as far as I know).I'm a chip designer myself, and for years I have been thinking on kickstarting something to pay for a tapeout of an open source FPGA. If anyone is interested let me know, I live in Ontario/Canada.
