Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, emphasizes the need for openness and verifiability across the entire technology stack in a recent blog post. As digitalization increasingly integrates into daily life—from email and instant messaging to digital finance and health tracking—Buterin argues that this shift presents both significant opportunities and risks. He calls for a commitment to openness and verifiability in software, hardware, and biotechnology to build a safer, freer, and more equitable digital future.
