[Vitalik: Blockchain has evolved from a simple ledger to a cryptography-based secure computing network] Odaily Planet Daily News - Vitalik Buterin posted on the X platform, stating that while early blockchain possessed characteristics such as openness, neutrality, and security, it faced issues like lack of scalability, complete transparency, and insufficient privacy protection. Privacy transactions and scalable verification enabled by zero-knowledge proofs have transitioned from planning to actual EIPs in Ethereum's roadmap. Technologies like fully homomorphic encryption are also beginning to be applied, and indistinguishable obfuscation may be used on-chain in the future. He noted that parallel block construction and proof can achieve higher scalability, and the scope of attention in the Web3 industry has expanded from digital assets to encompass both digital assets and information, covering the entire process from user endpoints, transaction memory pools, to on-chain activities. With the development of AI, providing cryptographic rules to AI for automated formal verification can enhance verification efficiency.
