Vitalik Buterin Calls for Ethereum to Build "Sanctuary Technologies" Beyond Finance
Vitalik Buterin urged Ethereum developers to prioritize building "sanctuary technologies" that protect users from expanding AI, government and corporate surveillance, and geopolitical instability, in a detailed post on X. The $ETH founder argued Ethereum needs to move beyond its current financial focus and adopt a broader mission of creating open systems that offer such protections. He added that Ethereum currently appears largely absent from "meaningfully improving the lives of people subject to these things."
