Vitalik Buterin has expressed apprehension regarding profit-driven models, like those found in protocols on the Solana blockchain, warning that they may compromise Ethereum’s fundamental values.

Ethereum’s co-founder stressed the significance of preserving decentralization and a solid social foundation in contrast to Ethereum’s vision, which he characterized as a “greed-is-good” mentality reminiscent of Wall Street.

Buterin underlined that Ethereum’s core principles are based on open-source principles drawing comparisons to initiatives like Linux and Mozilla

He wrote, “The objective of Ethereum remains unchanged from its inception: creating a worldwide, censorship-resistant permissionless blockchain.”. Additionally, he emphasized that the network’s scaling strategy, which is focused on layer-2 solutions, is essential to maintaining its technical underpinnings and decentralized social structure.

He is also dubious of proposals to switch to high-gas-limit layer-1 scaling, which some rivals have pushed.  He added that many of the advantages of Ethereum’s current social structure, which has been essential in supporting research, development, and ecosystem-building initiatives, would be lost in such a strategy.

He pointed out that such ideas that have made Ethereum successful would be compromised if layer-2 solutions were abandoned in favor of only layer-1 solutions with a higher gas limit. Buterin’s recent comments coincide with escalating conflicts over leadership and governance within the Ethereum community.
