Tim Beiko: Schelling points should be defined for different levels of trustlessness to drive institutional adoption of Ethereum

Paradigm data researcher Storm wrote in an article on X that Ethereum is a Trojan horse. When institutions adopt Ethereum, they will unknowingly hegemonize its core principles of decentralization, transparency, and open source software. In this regard, Ethereum core developer Tim Beiko wrote: "If we want things to unfold in this way, it would be a good thing to provide applications built on Ethereum with functions equivalent to L2 'stage' or zkEVM 'type'. We should define Schelling Points for different levels of trustlessness to push good-faith institutions towards it. (Note: Schelling Points are the choice tendencies of people in game theory without communication. This choice may be made because it seems natural, special, or related to the chooser.) More specifically, when it comes to 'putting something on the chain', the range is wide, from 'regularly publishing hashes' to 'everything is fully verifiable and rights are enforced by smart contracts'. Different users will need different settings, but we can define what a good version of each setting looks like." Assuming this technology is adopted, it will become easier to convey to end users that they hold 'Type 3 RWA' or that their 'decentralized social application' is designed as a 'Phase 4 on-chain application', etc.
