During this period, whether it is the comments at the end of our article or the discussions on Twitter, concerns about the future of Ethereum are topics that many holders pay close attention to.
My criteria for judging whether Ethereum’s future is good:
– Whether to pursue decentralization in operation (note that it is “operational” rather than “development and leadership”) do your best to pursue decentralization
– Is there a strong and trustworthy team
– Is there a strong community and ecology
So using these standards to evaluate the current Ethereum, has it been weakened?
There is a good article on Twitter (@sdcrypto123) and the main points expressed basically represent my views.In addition, this article also mentions some issues that I have never noticed before.
The link to this article is at the end of the article.
Today I will share with you some of the views and details in this article.
“I still don’t think that the Ethereum community has done something absolutely wrong. Ethereum has placed a lot of development energy/community support on decentralization, censorship resistance and privacy, and it doesn’t matter in the short term., but once there is a security problem with other chains or a group is not neutral enough by the consortium, everyone will look back and feel the importance of decentralized anti-censorship.
This view is a view that I agree with and without any doubt in the whole article, and it is a view that I have always believed in for so many years.
If we believe that the predecessors of the crypto ecosystem have put in countless hard work and even life to allow future generations to have such a world where they can eliminate evil, censorship and interference from centralized institutions as much as possible, then create in Satoshi NakamotoAfter Bitcoin, so far, only Ethereum is still insisting on moving in this direction.
In the latest Ethereum plan, Vitalik proposed to lower the threshold for verification nodes and further make verification decentralized–Ethereum never compromises on decentralization. This is my greatest gratitude and greatestCore concern.
Decentralization and anti-censorship cannot be shaken at all for the main chain (L1). Only in this way can the platform be guaranteed to be neutral and neutral enough – whether it is a good person or a bad person, it can be equal., use this platform indiscriminately.
This is not required for layer two extensions (L2), layer three extensions (L3) and even multi-layer extensions.They can be centralized, and they can even have censorship functions (and of course, it’s better if they can be decentralized as well).The reason why they can do this is because the main chain they rely on is sufficiently decentralized.
“Trust is not trust that you will not make mistakes and fall behind; trust is trust that you have strong error correction capabilities after falling behind and making mistakes, and trust that you have a very strong core value that can lead you to continue to move forward patiently, for a long time and tenaciously. Values are very empty, but without values. It is easy to give up principles and continue to develop at critical moments. Making money is difficult to become the core element of continuous progress and progress of a project, because there will always be better money-making things to do.Appear”
This view summarizes the values very well.
Everyone, every project, and every company will definitely encounter a darkest moment in the process of development.At that moment, there was no experience to learn from, no external force to help, and no resources to utilize. At that time, the choice of which path and direction to choose depends on values.
Values can give people a sixth sense in the darkest moments, allowing us to penetrate the fog, darkness, and see the light, allowing us to withstand pressure, reject temptation, and move in the right direction.
Vitalik has never wavered in his values.In the past development, no matter what interference, doubts, or temptations there are outsiders, he can always insist on decentralization and anti-censorship.Because of this, I believe in him and believe in the future of Ethereum.
I hope that Vitalik and even the future Ethereum team will continue to adhere to this value and maintain this original intention in the future.
“Uniswap and Jupiter’s approach are completely opposite. When an animal currency became popular in 21 years, it hid/blocked various Memecoins in the token search list. Jupiter actively guided it, and even made the solana ecosystem firstMemecoin with multiple people, called Wen”
“You can also see the difference in wallets. Phantom actively adds popular Memecoin every day to the list or arranges it on the swap side of the ship, while the little fox hides it and needs to add it himself. At the same time, it is not conspicuous anywhere, eitherTip: The most popular token on the Internet has been revealed”
I was quite surprised to see this detail.
Previously, I didn’t know that Uniswap and the little fox deliberately hid and suppressed the meme coins in their APP.
Although I’m not that obsessed with meme coins, I don’t object.I have participated in many meme coins myself because I can feel the joy and pleasure of participating.
So I am open to meme coins.
During this round of market conditions, I often have a question in my mind:
Why are so many meme coins issued on Solana instead of the Ethereum ecosystem?
If Ethereum costs are high and not suitable for meme coins, then many Ethereum’s L2 fees are low enough now. Why are there no meme coins that are even slightly famous in the ecosystem?
If the details described above are true, then the DEX and wallet, which are the main battlefield of meme coins, have deliberately blocked and suppressed, and their behavior has already undermined the characteristics of “anti-censorship”.
In my opinion, the core of decentralization and anti-censorship is:
The tools themselves are neutral and can be used by both good and bad people.What we need to punish is bad people who do evil with tools, rather than a subjective judgment on whether a person is good or bad in advance to decide whether to give him tools.
Uniswap and the little fox’s deliberate behavior of suppressing meme coins is as unreasonable and absurd as the US Department of Commerce’s previous rude blacklist of Tornado Cash’s related addresses.
Fortunately, the US judicial system has curbed the arrogance and unreasonability of the US government.
A centralized world can do this, and I believe that a decentralized world has more conditions to do this.
These details also show in another way how important it is to insist on decentralization.
If an ecosystem has an APP for review, it must also require an APP that resists review. The APP for review cannot monopolize the development of the ecosystem, and users must have the freedom to choose.
Only when users have the right to choose can the development of the ecosystem be vibrant and creative.
If only one option is allowed in an ecosystem, such an ecosystem will eventually become rigid.
From another perspective, in the crypto ecosystem, it is precisely because of the competition of multiple blockchains, the “decentralization” of this ecosystem, and the popularity of Solana on meme coins that let us seeThere is such censorship and suppression in core projects in the Ethereum ecosystem.
The above are some of the main points of this article.
In addition to this article, some controversial tweets from Vitalik and discussions about the Ethereum Foundation are circulating online.
I believe Vitalik and his team will be able to solve these problems.
After all, compared with the 2016 The DAO incident, the problems presented by this round of Ethereum sluggishness are much easier to solve.
Going back to the three standards I listed above, I think there is no problem with the decentralization of Ethereum for the time being. The team and ecosystem have been affected at present, but there is still a chance to recover.
I still believe that this young founder can lead his team and Ethereum out of the current predicament and solve the problems encountered in development.
I believe he can “Make Ethereum Great Again”.
