Building an independent open stack with blocks in the form of ENS<\/a>, with options for Proof-of-Humanity<\/span> and POAP<\/span> to compete with Web 2.0<\/a>-giants \u2014 something that could be inspirational. Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, told BlockWorks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The expert lamented that many projects today are \u201cnot inventive enough\u201d.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cDeFi is cool, NFT is a new primitive, but the continuation of something that has a history, and using cryptocurrency for payments is routine. These are discrete elements designed to fit into the previous ecosystem,\u201d<\/em> \u2014 explained Buterin.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Unlike the above, what excites him is the decentralized social network Farcaster. This is a Twitter-like protocol built on OP Mainnet <\/a> with the companion mobile app Warpcast. The project is currently in alpha.<\/p>\n

Alongside Lens by Aave<\/a> in the Polygon network, Farcaster and similar social services use crypto tools to compete with centralized platforms.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cLet’s see how far we can push this. In the future, projects may be tied to other elements of the space. For example, creating a solution against Sybil attacks<\/em><\/a>: 894 likes \u2014 that’s 894 people, not 894 accounts all controlled by the Kremlin,\u201d<\/em> \u2014 explained Buterin.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

According to the Ethereum co-founder, cryptographic protocols could potentially be more decentralized, preserve privacy and be secure relative to Web 2.0.<\/p>\n

The expert hopes that in the future an open technological stack will emerge that can compete with Google and Twitter without departing from centralized systems like the integration of WeChat, Alipay and CBDC<\/a> in China.<\/p>\n

Buterin proposed a gradual process of onboarding new Web3 users by creating Ethereum addresses initially controlled by a familiar service, such as Gmail. <\/p>\n

The difference will be that the service uses account abstraction<\/a>. This will give users the opportunity to become owners when they are ready to apply more crypto-native approaches.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cGive people the ability to descend the staircase of decentralization. Then truly end up in this fully independent stack that actually works together \u2014 all the different parts inside it,\u201d<\/em> \u2014 he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Earlier, Buterin mentioned Farcaster<\/a> after becoming a victim of an X account hack via SIM swap.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the Ethereum co-founder became a co-author<\/a> of an article about an alternative Tornado Cash<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
