Vitalik: Full-stack Openness and Verifiability are Key to Technological Trust in the Digital Age

BlockBeats News, September 24th, Ethereum founder Vitalik published an article on his personal blog titled "The Importance of Full-Stack Openness and Verifiability," delving into the significance of the "full-stack openness" and "verifiability" of technical systems in safeguarding societal trust, democratic governance, and technical ethics as digitalization increasingly permeates every aspect of human life.

Vitalik stated that while the development of technology is inevitable, we can choose its trajectory. By promoting the openness and verifiability of technology, we can ensure that technological development serves the interests of all humanity rather than the power and interests of a few. He called on the technology community, policymakers, and the public to work together to build a more open, transparent, and trustworthy technological ecosystem, laying a solid foundation for the future digital society.

Vitalik proposed a solution: to focus on developing a fully open-source and easily verifiable stack for high-security, non-performance-critical applications — encompassing both consumers and institutions, remote and in-person. This will include hardware, software, and biotechnology.
