Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, recently defended his position on decentralized finance (DeFi) following criticism from Kain Warwick, a key figure in the DeFi space. Warwick accused Buterin of neglecting DeFi, stating that his stance over the years has discouraged the main use case of the Ethereum blockchain. In response, Buterin emphasized his support for sustainable DeFi projects, while rejecting those driven by short-term gains. He reiterated the importance of maintaining Ethereum's core principles of decentralization and permissionlessness.
