ME News message, December 18 (UTC+8), Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated that an important yet long-underestimated form of "decentralization" is to enable as many people as possible to truly understand how the entire protocol operates from start to finish. If only a few individuals possess a complete understanding, the system still carries implicit risks of trust concentration. Vitalik pointed out that Ethereum still has room for improvement in this regard and needs to enhance overall understandability in the future through methods such as simplifying protocol design and reducing system complexity. This will not only help expand the pool of individuals who can participate in and audit the protocol but will also enhance the transparency, security, and long-term resilience of the Ethereum ecosystem.
