Bullet points of Vitalik Buterin responds to criticism that Ethereum ‘doesn’t care’ about DeFi
- Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin responded to accusations that he doesn't care about decentralized finance (DeFi), defending his views on the importance of sustainability and core principles of the Ethereum ecosystem.
- Buterin emphasized his support for certain DeFi applications, such as decentralized exchanges, decentralized stablecoins, and Polymarket, but expressed reservations about others, like USDC, which he believes undermines the neutrality of the Ethereum chain.
- He highlighted the importance of intersections between DeFi and other decentralized technologies, stating that DeFi alone is not enough for the future of the Ethereum ecosystem.
- The debate around Buterin's DeFi principles comes as the Ethereum Foundation sent a large amount of Ether to a Kraken exchange deposit address, sparking an online debate about the wallet activity.
- Kain Warwick, the inventor of yield farming, criticized Buterin's stance on DeFi, saying that his language has been equivalent to 'stop doing DeFi', which has caused frustration in the DeFi community.
- Warwick and others argued that Buterin's views on DeFi are not aligned with the values of the Ethereum ecosystem, which emphasizes permissionlessness and decentralization.
- Buterin's response emphasized his commitment to seeing applications that are both useful and sustainable, while upholding the core principles of the network.
