Vitalik: Ethereum should build a "shelter-type technology"

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Vitalik expressed on social media that concerns about the expansion of government and corporate power, privacy breaches, and disorder on social platforms are intensifying. At the same time, Ethereum's role in improving real-life situations remains limited. He suggested that Ethereum should be positioned as part of building "shelter-type technology," which uses open-source, decentralized technology to provide users with a robust space for collaboration and value management, rather than solely focusing on finance or pursuing "world-changing" disruption.

Vitalik Buterin emphasized that the core of Ethereum is to create an "ownerless shared digital space" that supports long-term digital arrangements such as multi-signature, markets, and governance structures, and to collaborate with a broader ecosystem to enhance resilience against external pressures.
