Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin isn’t delighted with how layer 2 networks are delicately managing decentralization and desires them to enhance it. Buterin has actually asked Ethereum layer 2s to comply with the decentralization requirement he launched in 2022 for them to be genuinely decentralized. According to the Ethereum co-founder, the guidelines use even if his good friends run the tasks or he has a stake in them, suggesting that Buterin is fed up with blockchain jobs that are mostly central in spite of declaring to honor the blockchain spirit.
“Stage 1 or Bust”
In an X post, Buterin stated that he’ll stop offering inadequately decentralized layer twos attention on his blog sites, talks, and other online forums. According to him, a network needs to a minimum of obtain phase 1 decentralization.
I take this seriously. Beginning next year, I prepare to just openly point out (in blog sites, talks, and so on) L2s that are phase 1+, with * perhaps a brief grace duration * for brand-new really fascinating tasks.
It does not matter if I invested, or if you’re my good friend; phase 1 or bust.

To obtain this badge, a layer 2 procedure requires to have at least 26% of its decision-making group comprised of entities outside the job’s core group. It likewise requires to put a “75% limit on council to bypass the evidence system,” this indicates that a network requires 75% of its members to accept decide outside the regular treatment.
According to Buterin, “it does not matter if [he] invested, or you’re [his] buddy; phase 1 or bust.” This requirement, nevertheless, will not use to brand-new and fascinating tasks which will be offered a “brief grace duration” to toe the line.
DeFi Projects Need to be Truly Decentralized
Buterin kept in mind that the intervention is implied to press blockchain-based jobs to turn to cryptographic trust rather of “being glorified multisigs.” The relocation comes 2 weeks after the Ethereum co-founder clarified that he isn’t versus DeFi tasks offered they’re really decentralized.
It likewise comes a week after he stated that he isn’t a fan of the “check in with Google” function however kept in mind that it’s most likely to have a favorable impact on crypto adoption.
With Buterin increasing pressure on blockchain tasks to increase decentralization, it’s to be seen whether the jobs will make every effort to end up being “phase 1” licensed.
