Odaily Planet Daily reported that Vitalik Buterin stated on X that the concept of Ethereum is to use ETH addresses as a universal interface. Thanks to zkemail, tlsnotary, anon aadhaar, and others, any form of identity verification can be converted into an ETH address and then integrated into other tools (such as multi-signature, DAO authorization, etc.). One key distinction between ETH addresses and 'pure cryptography'—and the value that blockchain provides—is that ETH addresses can be 'stateful,' allowing details such as key revocation to be abstracted.
