Vitalik Buterin: Some L2 projects are not fully decentralized

MeNews
ME News Report, May 16 (UTC+8), 2025, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated during his EthCC speech that many Layer 2 projects claiming to be built on-chain have backdoors that can be triggered at any time or lack decentralization. He believes that the architecture of these projects is not much different from traditional centralized servers. He pointed out that if developers cannot ensure complete decentralization of the project, directly using centralized servers might be more practical. (Source: MLion)

Backdoors can be triggered at any time; user assets are like time bombs.

This statement probably caused many project teams to revise their white papers overnight.

It is recommended that before the launch of L2 in the future, it first passes Vitalik's review.

Users want security, not to hear you tell the story of progressive decentralization.

Lack of decentralization, just be honest, don't forcefully ride the blockchain.

Vitalik finally couldn't help but call it out; before, he had only hinted politely.

The July 2025 speech is now being reported in May—does MLion function as an oracle?

The architecture is the same as traditional servers, so why pay gas fees?
