Vitalik: Blockchain Has Evolved from a Simple Ledger into a Cryptography-Based Secure Computing Network
Odaily reports that Vitalik Buterin posted on X platform stating that blockchain in its early days possessed characteristics of openness, neutrality, and security, but suffered from issues of non-scalability, full transparency, and lack of privacy protection. Privacy transactions and scalable verification brought by zero-knowledge proofs have moved from planning into actual EIPs in the Ethereum roadmap, technologies such as fully homomorphic encryption are beginning to be applied, and indistinguishability obfuscation may be applied on-chain in the future.
He stated that parallel block construction and proving can achieve greater scalability, and the Web3 industry's focus has expanded from digital assets to digital assets and information, covering the complete pipeline from the user end, transaction mempool, to on-chain. With the development of AI, providing cryptographic rules to AI for automated formal verification can improve verification efficiency.
