Vitalik: In the application layer and Ethereum external interfaces, we should be bold in completely restructuring various concepts.

Foresight News reports that Vitalik Buterin posted on Farcaster, stating, "I believe the Ethereum world needs to embrace a more open and bold mindset towards many things, especially at the application layer and in how we position ourselves in the world. We should not compromise on core features: censorship resistance, openness, privacy, and security (CROPS). We should not adopt the kind of 'open attitude' that makes people lose confidence in L1's security features after a year. We shouldn't question 'Can light clients really achieve trustless verification of blockchain correctness?' But at the application layer and in Ethereum's external interfaces, we should be more courageous in thoroughly reconstructing various concepts and breaking out of our comfort zone. This includes thinking about technical directions, such as 'If artificial intelligence means wallets as browser extensions and mobile extensions will disappear within a year, how should we respond?'"

For too long, Ethereum's algorithmic logic has been: the existing ecosystem is already there, how can we use logical reasoning to make it more perfect? Now our algorithm should shift to: we have this amazing and increasingly outstanding L1 layer, we have an ever-richer set of tools. Based on current understanding, what is the most valuable direction for building right now? Suppose the current Ethereum chain is completely unused, and you are the pioneer designing or building applications—see what would emerge. Even if you are developing existing applications, please engage in this thought process. This is exactly the path for Ethereum to regain strong growth."
