During the ETHCC 2025 conference, the co -founder Ethereum Vitalik Buterin pronounced an address that gives to think but visionary, urging the crypto space to stop and reflect on what it builds – and why.
In a discourse that has turned more philosophical than technical, Buterin stressed that decentralization is not only a brand slogan – it is a fundamental value that gives users freedom.
The crypto industry is at an inflection point: Vitalik Buterin
Vitalik Buterin stressed that the cryptographic industry is at an inflection point.
“The growth of cryptographic space is not a clear. The clear goal is to build the right type of thing. We need a philosophical change,” said Buterin.
He highlighted several pressing concerns in the ecosystem: layer 2 with instant upholstery “baths”, decentralized exchanges with dubious mechanics and DAPP fronts which are vulnerable to compromise on the server side. As a practical solution, he pleaded for the accommodation of an immutable frontend via a static HTML on IPF.
Buterin also warned of the superficial correction of privacy and governance. Governance models that voting auctions to identity systems where zero knowledge of knowledge does not protect users under stress, he argued for a more holistic and rigorous approach.
“Confidentiality is not only a feature to be added-it is a bug to be reduced,” he said.
A key decisive test, he noted, is resilience: “If a company disappears, do your users still have their assets?”
