PANews July 2 news, according to CoinDesk, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin warned at the EthCC conference in France that if decentralization remains merely a slogan, Ethereum will face a survival crisis. He proposed three core testing standards: 1. Exit test (whether user assets are safe if the project team disappears); 2. Internal attack test (the system's ability to resist internal malicious acts); 3. Trusted computing foundation test (the amount of code that needs to be trusted to protect user assets).
Buterin pointed out that most Layer 2 networks and DeFi projects currently rely on mutable backdoors or centralized front ends, and privacy solutions often expose user transaction histories due to reliance on third-party logins. He emphasized the need to make privacy a default feature and to streamline the code trust foundation. On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of Ethereum's mainnet launch, he warned that if true decentralization guarantees cannot be achieved, Ethereum may repeat the fate of other technologies that were fleeting.
