Vitalik Buterin said: “I want to recreate Ethereum cypherpunk.”

 Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said the “cypherpunk” vision of blockchain was largely covered up when cryptocurrencies began flooding the network around 2017. Ethereum is expected to revive the “cypherpunk” revolution initially envisioned for blockchain, Vitalik said. Buterin, one of the founders of the network.

According to Buterin's blog post on December 28, Ethereum was originally envisioned as a “public, decentralized, shared hard drive” capable of sending peer-to-peer messages and storing decentralized files, but that vision has since been revealed. in 2017 on Ethereum Finance.

Decentralization, public participation, resistance to censorship and trustworthy neutrality are among the values ​​of “cypherpunk”. Buterin wants to return to the future of Ethereum and hopes that non-financial applications can thrive on the blockchain. He notes that aggregation, zero-knowledge proofs, account abstraction, and second-generation privacy solutions that can support some of these cypherpunk values ​​have become more popular.

Cypherpunk is a person who uses cryptography to protect personal information when accessing computer networks, especially in government agencies. Participating in polls without revealing personal information and implementing mechanisms like secondary voting and cross-block consensus discovery to allow organizations to govern themselves are among the cypherpunk-like activities Buterin would like to see more of on Ethereum.
