Vitalik Blerin says the app layer requires ‘good philosophy of society’


Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin argues that this is the Ethereum application layer, not its infrastructure layer, where Ethereum requires “good social philosophy”.

The app layer is where the developers build decentralized applications at the top of Ethereum’s base infrastructure And where they make decisions about how these programs work.

In a post on April 12 on the social media platform Warpcast, Buterin Reply In a user’s argument that Ethereum requires a new generation of developers rooted in the main values ​​of Ethereum change itself. He argued that this was the app layer that needed it.

“Apps are 80% special goals. What apps you are building depends on what ideas you have on what Ethereum apps, and Ethereum altogether, should be made for the world. And so having good ideas on this topic has been important on the cross,” Baterin said.

In comparison, Blerin said a programming language such as C ++ may not be influenced by the ideology of the creator, as it is a tool that is a general goal that does not have much surface that is worse or improved by social philosopher.

“Imagine that C ++ was made by a totalitarian racist fascist. Is this a worse language? Probably not,” he said.

Ethereum 1 layer is similar to an extent, Bullerin’s dispute, though it is more exposed to philosophical influence, citing its moving to proof-of-stake (POS) and supporting light clients as examples.

“A person who does not believe in decentralization does not add lightweight clients, or good account abstraction forms,” ​​he said.
