Odaily Planet Daily reported that Paradigm data researcher Storm stated on X that Ethereum is a Trojan horse. When institutions adopt Ethereum, they unconsciously hegemonize its core principles of decentralization, transparency, and open-source software. In response, Ethereum core developer Tim Beiko stated: "If we want things to unfold this way, then providing functionalities equivalent to L2 'stages' or zkEVM 'types' for applications built on Ethereum would be a good thing. We should define Schelling Points for different levels of trustlessness to encourage well-intentioned institutions to align with them. (Note: A Schelling Point is a tendency for people to make choices in game theory without communication, where the choice may be made because it seems natural, special, or related to the chooser.) More specifically, when 'putting something on-chain,' the range is broad, from 'regularly publishing hashes' to 'everything being fully verifiable, with rights enforced by smart contracts.' Different users will need different setups, but we can define what a good version of each setup looks like." Assuming this technology is adopted, it will become easier to communicate to end users that they hold 'Type 3 RWA' or that their 'decentralized social application' is designed as a 'Stage 4 on-chain application', etc.
