### Vitalik on Open-Source Incentives#

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently expressed his views on open-source incentive mechanisms on social media. He believes that the tech community widely underestimates the importance of efficient capital formation for future construction. What truly matters is creating funding structures that can incentivize open-source, open standards, and security in the long term. This structure should be able to curb closed-mindedness and exploitative behavior, promoting a positive-sum participation in a broader ecosystem. He emphasizes the importance of creating funding structures that continuously incentivize open-source, open standards, and security, which would help curb walled garden mentality and extractive behaviors, and generally promote positive-sum participation in a broader ecosystem.
