According to TechFlow, Vitalik Buterin minted a new ENS domain name "dacc.eth" on August 18. DACC stands for "defensive accelerationism" (d/acc), which contrasts with the "effective accelerationism" (e/acc) hotly debated in Silicon Valley.

e/acc advocates accelerating social welfare through technological progress, while d/acc emphasizes promoting technological development in areas such as cybersecurity and privacy protection to deal with potential threats.

Vitalik believes that a world that prioritizes defense is not only safer, but also promotes healthy, open, and free governance. The core of d/acc is to defend against potential attacks and risks in various fields through technological development.
