Odaily News Vitalik Buterin stated in a post that the relationship between "institutions" (governments and corporations) and "cypherpunks" is highly complex, being neither natural allies nor natural enemies. In the game theory of institutions, the optimal strategy is to strengthen control within manageable bounds while resisting external intrusions, which often makes them more attentive to data sovereignty and security issues than ordinary users. In the future, institutions will place greater emphasis on self-managed wallets and staking, which benefits Ethereum's decentralization; simultaneously, KYC and privacy technologies will develop in parallel, and the game surrounding zero-knowledge proofs will persist long-term. The core mission of the Ethereum community is to build tools that protect personal self-sovereignty and freedom, and to maintain its own stance while cooperating with institutions.
