Vitalik: Ethereum should adhere to its core L1 characteristics while adopting a bolder and more open mindset at the application layer.

CoinFeed reported on March 6th that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin published an article on the X platform, arguing that while adhering to the core characteristics of L1—namely, censorship resistance, open source, privacy, and security—Ethereum should adopt a bolder and more open mindset regarding application layers and how it interacts with the world. He raised the question: What should we do if AI causes Ethereum wallets, which function as browser extensions, to disappear within a year? What would the future of DeFi be like if it were essentially just a general futures market based on decentralized oracles, where users self-organize? He pointed out that as AI develops, "applications" are evolving from discrete behavioral categories into a continuous space, thus the model of "reducing application development and relying more on users to self-organize around core functions" will inevitably expand.
