Vitalik: As Government and Corporate Control Expands, Ethereum Must Build 'Shielded Technology'

BlockBeats News, March 4th, Vitalik stated in a post that, against the backdrop of expanding government and corporate control, although Ethereum prioritizes freedom and privacy, it has not significantly improved user life in these areas. Vitalik called for the construction of a "sanctuary technology" ecosystem, that is, open-source tools to enhance resilience to external pressures, while emphasizing that Ethereum should not be limited to finance.

Vitalik said, "Cryptocurrencies should not try to be Apple or Google. Instead, we should build our own 'sanctuary tech ecosystem' — a shared digital space with no owner, that can not only achieve open finance but also bring more benefits. We should more actively build a full-stack ecosystem: extending upwards to wallets and application layers (including AI as an interface) and downwards to the operating system, hardware, and even physical/biological security layers."
