On April 13, in response to the statement that “Ethereum’s self-renewal requires generation/talent replacement. And the next generation needs to be rooted in Ethereum values ​​(such as crypt punk)”, Vitalik Buterin replied in Warpcast: “I actually think that the growth of the application layer is the time when good social philosophy is most needed. For example: Assume that C++ was developed by a totalitarian racist fascist. Will it be a worse language? Probably not. C++ is universal and there is not much room for bad social philosophy to undermine it (or let good social philosophy improve it). Ethereum Layer-1 is not exactly the case: people who don’t believe in decentralization will not add light client, FOCIL, or (good form) account abstraction; people who don’t mind energy waste will not spend five years migrating to PoS…but anyway, the opcode for EVM may be roughly the same. So, 50% of Ethereum is likely to be universal. Apps are about 80% dedicated. What kind of application you build depends heavily on your idea of ​​what Ethereum applications (and Ethereum as a whole) will do for the world. So it becomes crucial to have a good idea on this topic.” In addition, Vitalik listed some applications, which believe that good applications such as Railgun, Farcaster, Polymarket, Signal, and bad applications such as Pump.fun, Terra/Luna, and FTX. It believes that the difference in application functions stems from developers' different beliefs about the goals they want to achieve.
