3. Vitalik: A firm believer in the importance of privacy and an active user of privacy tools

According to Jinse Finance, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated in a letter supporting Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm, "I have supported Roman Storm's work from the beginning, both because I firmly believe in the importance of privacy and because I actively use privacy tools, including those he has developed. Many people assume that personal privacy can be violated by the public, but that governments, police, and intelligence agencies should have access to the information of all citizens to ensure security. I strongly disagree with this view. In reality, government databases are frequently hacked, and information often falls into the hands of hostile foreign forces. I have personally used his software to complete transactions, and when purchasing software for personal use, my name is not included in corporate databases. His applications continue to function even years after development was terminated."

5.Vitalik: Ethereum is more secure than reducing latency

According to Jinse Finance, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin stated on the X platform that "Ethereum is more secure than reducing latency. With the support of PeerDAS and ZKP, we already know how to scale, and theoretically, it can achieve thousands of times the scaling potential compared to the current state. The relevant parameters will become more favorable before and after scaling. There are no physical laws that prevent the coexistence of 'extreme scale + decentralization.' Reducing latency is completely different. We are fundamentally limited by the speed of light, and in addition, we are subject to the following real-world constraints: 1. We need to support nodes (especially validators) running in rural areas, homes, or businesses globally, not just data centers. 2. We need to provide censorship resistance and anonymity for nodes (especially proposers and validators).

3. Running nodes in geographically dispersed locations must not only be "feasible" but also economically sustainable. If staking outside New York results in a 10% drop in yield, in the long run, more and more people will choose to stake only in New York. Ethereum itself must pass the "walkaway test," so we cannot build a blockchain that relies on continuous social coordination to maintain decentralization. Economic incentives cannot bear all the responsibility, but must bear most of it. Of course, without making trade-offs, we can still significantly reduce latency on the existing basis, specifically including: 1. P2P network improvements (especially erasure coding) can reduce message propagation time without requiring individual nodes to increase bandwidth. 2. An availability chain with fewer nodes in each time slot (e.g., 512 nodes instead of 30,000) can eliminate aggregation steps, allowing the entire critical path to be completed within a subnet. These improvements are expected to bring 3–6x performance gains. Therefore, I believe that moderately reducing latency to the 2–4 second level is entirely realistically possible. But Ethereum isn't a global video game server; it's a global heartbeat. If you need to build applications that are faster than a "heartbeat," they must include off-chain components. This is one of the key reasons why L2 will continue to exist for a long time, even if Ethereum achieves massive scaling.
