Vitalik Buterin Reveals His Vision for Future Wallets

Ethereum creator calls for more security for crypto wallets
On December 3, from his personal blog platform, Vitalik Buterin shared his vision on the necessary evolution of Web3 wallets. The Ethereum co-founder particularly emphasizes one fundamental point: Ethereum's decentralization and security are worthless if the wallets themselves do not integrate these essential features.
According to Buterin, the current approach of relegating privacy features to a few specialized wallets is insufficient. Instead, he advocates for the systematic integration of these functionalities into all Web3 wallets, proposing in particular a “private balance” system that would allow funding transfers confidentially.
This statement comes in a favorable context, especially after the recent decision of a US court on Tornado Cash, which could pave the way for further privacy innovations on the blockchain.
