Vitalik on Robotaxi: What are the CO2 levels or other air quality indicators when the vehicle is fully occupied?
Vitalik Buterin asked under Elon Musk's retweet of Tesla's Robotaxi and Robovan tweets, "What is the level of carbon dioxide or other air quality indicators when Robotaxi and Robovan are fully loaded with passengers?"
Vitalik refutes Péter Szilagyi's statement that the Ethereum research team accepts the idea of centralizing everything
On July 27th, Vitalik Buterin refuted Péter Szilágyi, the team lead of Ethereum, who claimed that the research team fully accepted any centralized idea as long as it can be verified. Buterin stated, "I just attended the EF research workshop last week, and I can confirm that this is incorrect. We discussed various topics to minimize centralization, including:
Vitalik: Blockchain can be used as a "truth machine", but other tools are still needed to assist in further truth discovery
On July 20th, Vitalik Buterin replied to a social media user's inquiry about "what is a globally universal blockchain" by stating that blockchain is a "truth machine" and, in a specific sense, it provides a consensus that is close to the truth about when a message was sent, but it will not tell you if landing on the moon is true. This greatly reduces the attack surface of blockchain, but it does mean that we need other tools to actually execute (or assist) in discovering the latter truth.
Vitalik Buterin says crypto regulations have created ‘anarcho-tyranny’
The Ethereum co-founder says we’d all be better off with either anarchy or tyranny but not both.
Vitalik: Crypto regulation has led to "anarchy and tyranny", and honest crypto developers are forced into a desperate situation
Vitalik responded to a user on the Warpcast platform stating that current regulatory efforts have essentially pushed honest cryptocurrency developers into a corner. The main challenge of cryptocurrency regulation (especially in the US) has been this phenomenon - if you do something useless or ask people for money in exchange for vague mentions of potential returns, then you are free and innocent. But if you try to clearly explain to your customers where the returns come from and promise them certain rights, then you're screwed because you're a "security". The incentive gradient created by this "anarchic tyranny" will ultimately be worse than pure anarchy or pure tyranny.
Vitalik has proposed the first block on the Taiko mainnet, and added a message to encourage Taiko to explore new directions
On-chain data shows that about 50 minutes ago, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposed the first block as a block proposer on the Taiko mainnet, and in the attached note to the block, he stated: "I am glad to see Taiko launch as a Based Rollup platform. Ethereum benefits from adopting various L2s using different methods, and I appreciate that Taiko is one of the first projects to develop in this direction."
Vitalik: The expansion of the blockchain community should not be limited to the industry, but should focus on a wider range of external fields
On May 18th, Vitalik Buterin responded to other users on X platform, stating that expansion is a good thing, but why does it have to be only other blockchains? Why can't it be in non-blockchain decentralized spaces, as well as open-source biotechnology and other fields?
Vitalik: Introducing multi-dimensional execution Gas will bring certain complexity at the EVM level
Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, has released the latest blog "Multi-Dimensional Gas Pricing". It mentions that Gas integrates multiple types of "efforts", mainly including: raw calculations (such as ADD, MULTIPLY), read and write Ethereum storage (such as SSTORE, SLOAD, ETH transfer), data bandwidth, and the cost of generating ZK-SNARK proof for block generation. EIP-4844 introduced multi-dimensional pricing for the first time in Ethereum, adding a dedicated Blob data area with its own price and limit. This improvement reduces the cost of Rollup by 100 times, increases transaction volume by more than 3 times, and only slightly increases the theoretical maximum block size. In addition, Vitalik has proposed two solutions for implementing multi-dimensional gas pricing:1. The simpler one is to set the resource upper limit for each transaction, that is, the gas for each transaction is priced based on the larger value of the consumed data and computing resources, as suggested by EIP-7623.2. The ideal but more complex solution is to establish a dynamic adjustment mechanism for each type of resource similar to EIP-1559. Vitalik emphasized that introducing multi-dimensional gas execution will bring some complexity at the EVM level, but this trade-off is worth it for safely improving the scalability of Ethereum L1. The community still needs to further explore more elegant designs in terms of economic feasibility and development friendliness of the solution.
Vitalik: Privacy in physical space is rapidly decreasing, and a little balance can be restored by strengthening network privacy
Vitalik Buterin wrote on the X platform: "Privacy in physical space is rapidly decreasing, and strengthening network privacy is one of the few tools we have to regain a little balance. Privacy is normal and supports privacy protection."
