Buterin listed attaining “Ethereum alignment” as a top social challenge facing the community.
The co-founder emphasized Ethereum maintaining its authentically neutral stance.
Vitalik Buterin, a co-founder of Ethereum, has suggested developing a set of criteria to evaluate projects’ degree of “alignment” with the Ethereum principles. Buterin listed attaining “Ethereum alignment” as a top social challenge facing the Ethereum community in his most recent blog post on September 28.
Still, he conceded that it’s not an easy endeavor, especially considering the wide variety of client teams, application developers, researchers, and local communities all attempting to make their own distinct contributions to Ethereum.
Tough Task
According to Buterin, there are already a number of “starting points,” such as a project’s level of open source commitment. According to him, “open source” not only makes code auditable for security reasons, but it also makes it easier to avoid proprietary lock-in and welcomes improvements from outside parties.
Another factor is the project’s interoperability; Buterin has proposed a system wherein apps and wallets may be graded according to the number of ERCs they support. Other security and decentralization metrics include the “walkaway” and “insider attack” tests.
For example, he said that new public funding methods and improved financial inclusion are two examples of how a project might benefit the Ethereum community and humankind as a whole.
Buterin emphasized the significance of Ethereum maintaining its authentically neutral stance. Ryan Berckmans, an Ethereum community member, emphasized in July the need of Ethereum builders limiting marketing, saying that doing otherwise might lead to a situation where winners and losers are more apparent.
When it comes to the Ethereum ecosystem, Buterin is a major player. Ethereum could be depending too much on Buterin for guidance, according to Cardano creator Charles Hoskinson, who recently made the comment in an interview.
