GuShiio.com learned that Vitalik responded to the question of whether Ethereum is closer to the existence of Bitcoin or the existence of the world’s computer, saying that the two ways of thinking are compatible. To determine whether blockchain is truly decentralized, you can pass a simple test: If the foundation disappears, can the chain still survive? He thinks Bitcoin and Ethereum can answer clearly: of course. Most of Ethereum’s development is outside the foundation. The client team has an independent business model. Many researchers are not in the foundation. Almost all activities except devcon are independent. Vitalik emphasized that it was a big mistake to abandon decentralization and resilience in pursuit of TPS, because decentralization and resilience are crucial to building a digital currency and a world computer with long-term value. In addition, he pointed out that the world’s computers need to solve the problem of capacity expansion. ldquo; The word world computer does not mean a computer that can support every application in the world at the same time, but that the applications in the world can operate with each other.
Vitalik said there is currently no ETH 3.0. Although Justin Drake’s five-year plan was mentioned, it only involves the consensus layer, not the execution layer, and is part of Ethereum’s future. He emphasized that the relationship and balance between L1 and L2 is an executive level issue. It is necessary to strengthen L1 capabilities, improve cross-L2 interoperability, and increase blobs, etc. He also pointed out that the issue of whether L2 pays enough transaction fees to L1 cannot be viewed from a short-term perspective. Now we need to enhance L1 functionality to ensure that transactions on L1 can proceed smoothly.
When answering why Vitalik returned to the helm of the ETH Foundation, he said that the current blockchain and the world are in a dangerous state, many vicious incidents with no long-term value have occurred, and the community and the people behind them have been attacked. He believes that our goal is to provide investors with better options and demonstrate a stable and bright future. He mentioned that the success of Ethereum has given people hope and proved that an open and decentralized ecosystem can be successful and has a positive social impact. Vitalik emphasized that decentralization does not mean doing nothing, but uses the foundation’s subtractive philosophy to help solve the ecological imbalance problem. After the problem is solved, the foundation can withdraw and invest resources in other fields if necessary.
