Web3 Devs Must Prioritise Privacy As Govt Can’t Be Trusted: Vitalik Buterin

1 week ago | cryptonews.com.au | Jody McDonald |Vitalik Buterin

Ethereum co-founder, Vitalik Buterin, has argued in a blog post that privacy must be a top priority for web3 developers as the risks associated with governments and corporations accessing individuals’ data grow.

How Do You Eat? No. 3

The particularities of the mundane! We adore knowing how other humans do the dull tasks of daily life—and perhaps how they imbue them with a bit of novelty and joy. That’s why I started this semi-regular (perhaps quarterly) series where I talk to three writers in different cities around the world about how they get their groceries and their food lives in general. This time, I’ve added in writers who don’t focus on food to mix it up. These interviews are edited and condensed for length and clarity.

The Ethereum Foundation announced a leadership restructuring with former Executive Director Aya Miyaguchi becoming president while researchers Hsiao-Wei Wang and Tomasz Stańczak will serve as co-directors starting March 17.

Vitalik：中心化 Sequencer 有很多优点，但不能完全靠其解决问题

2 months ago | chaincatcher.com | Vitalik Buterin

ChainCatcher 消息，Vitalik Buterin 在社交平台表示，中心化 sequencer 其实有很多优点：中心化 sequencer 能保证不会用 frontrunning 等等的方式偷用户的钱； instant preconfirmations；很容易让一个传统应用变成区块链应用，因为服务器直接变成 sequencer。可以用区块链的去中心化特点避免中心化 sequencer 的风险：forced inclusion 的机制不让 sequencer censor 用户，optimistic 或者 zk 证明机制不让 sequencer 改变或者违反应用的规则（比如，突然 inflate 一个 token 或者 nft collection）。但是中心化 sequencer 还是有风险，所以我们不能完全靠中心化 sequencer 解决问题，有 based rollup 或者直接 L1 上交易的能力也是重要的。所以我支持有两部分的生态同时推动这两个方法，然后我们能看到哪种方法更适合哪种应用保持普通用户发 censorship resistant...

Democratic Congressman, Gerard Connolly, has written to the US House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform urging it to investigate any conflicts of interest arising from President Trump’s involvement with crypto schemes.

Censorship Concerns Mar Launch of Sony Blockchain ‘Soneium’

Jan 16, 2025 | cryptonews.com.au | Jody McDonald |Vitalik Buterin

Sony has launched the mainnet of its Soneium blockchain network following several months in which the network ran only as a testnet. The launch was somewhat overshadowed by reports that Sony is already censoring content on the network, with several meme tokens reportedly blocked from trading over IP concerns. Vitalik Buterin has shared his thoughts, saying that the ability to run tightly controlled or fully open networks is one of the strengths of Ethereum layer 2 networks like Soneium.

By: Vitalik Buterin Special thanks to Liraz Siri, Yoav Weiss, and the ImToken, Metamask, and OKX developers for their feedback and review. A critical layer of the Ethereum infrastructure stack, but one that is often underestimated by core L1 researchers and developers, is the wallet.
Funds start to "reminisce", let's talk about the absolutely old coins Stacks in the Bitcoin ecosystem

Dec 4, 2024 | panewslab.com | Vitalik Buterin

Taking advantage of the eye-catching performance of the old coin sector, let me talk about the absolutely old coin Stacks in the Bitcoin ecosystem. 1) It has no intention to compete for the FOMO trend of BTC layer2, but it has already been a "pioneer"; 2) The POX consensus mechanism relies on economic binding to catch the "express train" of BTC growth; 3) sBTC’s native BTC cross-chain design does not have Babylon’s encryption technology, but it is still “native” enough.
