ChainCatcher message, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated on social media that starting next year, he plans to only publicly mention (in blogs, speeches, etc.) L2 projects that are at stage 1+, and may give a brief grace period to some genuinely interesting new projects.Vitalik said: "Whether I have invested or not, or whether you are my friend, the project must reach stage 1, otherwise it will not be considered. Multiple ZK-rollup teams have told me they expect to reach stage 1 by the end of the year. I am very excited about this.Of course, we should not easily abandon training rounds until we have real confidence in the security of the proof system; doing so would be irresponsible. But stage 1 (75% of the council needs to cover the proof system, and 26%+ of the council members must come from outside the rollup team) is a very reasonable moderate milestone. The multi-signature wallet I am part of has not experienced a single activity failure in years, let alone a 26% failure rate. The era of rollups as glorified multi-signature wallets is coming to an end. The era of crypto trust is about to arrive."

ChainCatcher message, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated on the X platform, "By default, we should actually be skeptical of the popular term 'smart', because historically, it has often been a cool way to package issues like centralized control, data leaks, etc. (see many 'smart home' products).To ask the specific question. Does the design of wallets really push the boundaries in protecting users from malicious centralized actions and their own mistakes? A well-designed wallet can indeed do this. Conversely, a poorly designed one may have the opposite effect."

ChainCatcher message, Vitalik posted on X: "I believe that 'anonymous society', and even 'financialized pseudonymous society', is not really effective. A more multidimensional concept of identity (characterized by 'soulbinding') seems necessary; if you don't do this, the most stable governance structure will just be a de facto centralized structure, and others will be attacked by financialized governance. It can be said that even today, we can see these issues at play in DAOs.Anonymity is a check and balance, its existence is to run the 'dark side of the cycle', but it itself cannot run the entire cycle. Just as you cannot operate a society with perpetual rebellious energy.Regarding x-risk, I believe that diverse thinking can actually help us more effectively identify x-risk mitigation measures that people can support."

ChainCatcher news, Vitalik Buterin stated in a post on X that he introduced the concept of "one-sided capability trap" in his comments on the article "The Bitcoin Block Size War."Buterin pointed out that one group monopolizes all capabilities, but their views are narrow and biased; another group, while recognizing the problem, becomes obsessed with opposition and fails to develop execution capabilities. This situation leads to the pro-large block side failing to realize the importance of execution capabilities, ultimately resulting in multiple failures when creating fork chains like Bitcoin Cash, with the community stabilizing only after several splits. Buterin referred to this as the "one-sided capability trap" and believes this phenomenon is widespread in various types of politics and projects.Vitalik stated, "This phenomenon is widespread in different types of politics and projects. We should better understand how to escape this trap."
