Vitalik: The core of blockchain is verifiability and highly democratized participation

Celestia co-founder Nick White stated on social media that the core of blockchain is verifiability, with the aim of freeing us from committees and intermediaries. A more decentralized committee is still a committee.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin commented on this on social media, stating that "if Ethereum abandons verifiability and accepts committees and centralized intermediaries as the solution to everything, I would consider it no longer Ethereum.

In addition to verifiability, I would also add highly democratic participation."
