According to BlockBeats, on December 7, Celestia co-founder Nick White shared his views on social media, emphasizing the importance of verifiability in blockchain technology. White stated that the core of blockchain is its ability to provide verifiable information, which aims to eliminate the need for committees and intermediaries. He further noted that even a more decentralized committee still remains a committee, highlighting the necessity of maintaining the foundational principles of blockchain.

In response to White's comments, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin also took to social media to express his perspective. Buterin asserted that if Ethereum were to abandon its commitment to verifiability and instead rely on committees and centralized intermediaries as the ultimate solution, he would no longer consider it to be Ethereum. He emphasized that, in addition to verifiability, he values highly democratized participation as a crucial aspect of Ethereum's ethos. This exchange underscores the ongoing debate within the blockchain community about the balance between decentralization and the role of governance structures.
