Vitalik releases latest article: 'Making Ethereum Alignment Clearly Visible'

BlockBeats News: On September 28th, Vitalik, co-founder of Ethereum, released an article titled "Making Ethereum Alignment Clearly Visible", which discusses how to balance Ethereum client teams, researchers, Layer 2 teams, application developers, and local community groups to ensure that all these projects collectively build a unified Ethereum ecosystem. He proposed the concept of "Ethereum alignment". This can include value alignment (e.g. open source, minimal centralization, support for public goods), technology alignment (e.g. adopting ecosystem wide standards), and economic alignment (e.g. using ETH as a token as much as possible). Vitalik analyzes from the perspectives of open source, open standards, decentralization and security, and positive sum. Its ideal goal is to see more entities like L2beat emerge and track the performance of various projects in meeting the above standards and other standards proposed by the community. Instead of competing for connections, projects should compete for alignment based on easily understandable standards. Dashboard organizations like L2beat, blockchain browsers, and other ecosystem monitoring tools are excellent examples of this principle successfully operating in the Ethereum ecosystem. If we can make the different aspects of alignment clearer and not focus on a single 'supervisor', we can make this concept more effective and do better in the pursuit of fairness and inclusiveness in the Ethereum ecosystem.
