[Vitalik Explores Power and Balance, Calls for Projects to Proactively Design Decentralized Models] Odaily Planet Daily News: Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently published an article titled 'Balance of Power,' discussing the core theme of 'power' and 'balance.' Vitalik pointed out that many crypto projects, during their development process, often focus solely on their 'business model,' i.e., how to continuously acquire resources to support team operations, while neglecting the equally critical 'decentralized model'—how to prevent excessive concentration of power within the project itself and the systemic risks that may arise as a result. He believes that decentralization is naturally easier to achieve in certain scenarios. For example, in systems like the English language or open protocols such as TCP, IP, and HTTP, due to the lack of obvious centralized control points, dominance is not easily monopolized by a single entity. However, in other use cases, decentralization does not occur naturally but requires deliberate institutional and architectural design by the project team. Vitalik emphasized that the challenge of how to retain the flexibility and efficiency brought by centralization without suffering the drawbacks of concentrated power will be a critical issue the crypto industry must confront for a long time to come. He urged project teams to actively reflect on their power structures and treat the 'decentralized model' as an equally important design goal alongside the business model.
