Vitalik calls for Ethereum community to shift mindset, hold onto core principles, and rethink application design "from scratch"
BlockBeats News, March 6th, Ethereum founder Vitalik stated, I think it is a good thing for the Ethereum community to have a more daringly open mindset, especially in terms of the application layer and how they view their position in the world. We should not compromise on core attributes: censorship resistance, openness, privacy, and security (CROPS). Especially in the application layer and Ethereum's interface with the outside world, we should be more willing to thoroughly rethink various concepts and step out of our comfort zone.
Last year, we began to prioritize privacy and gave it equal weight to other types of security. This means that there will be a fundamental change in the Ethereum application stack, as so far, the entire stack has not been built around privacy. Well, let's build a completely different Ethereum application stack.
This year's example is rethinking the role of L2 from scratch and which types of L2 can truly have the greatest synergy and benefit with Ethereum. This also includes cultural factors. For me and others, this is an important part of the "milady" concept. Write down your "dignified" inherent concept, crumple it up, and burn it. This psychological baptism will bring about an intellectual baptism, inspiring greater creativity and expanding horizons.
For a long time, our algorithm on Ethereum has been: we have an existing ecosystem, what is the next step to make it better? Now, our algorithm should be: we have a fantastic L1 layer, and it will become even better; we have more and more tools, including tools developed inside and outside the ecosystem; based on our current knowledge, what is the most valuable? If you were to write the section on applications from the 2014 Ethereum whitepaper, starting from first principles in areas such as DeFi, decentralized social, and identity, what would you write? At the very least, please exclude all path dependency issues first, assume that the Ethereum chain is currently not in use at all, and you are the first to propose or build the initial applications, and see what you would ultimately write. Even if you are currently building existing applications, please do this. This is the secret to Ethereum's reinvigoration.

Exclusive Report - Sources say Apollo has submitted a non-binding offer to German energy company Uniper
Germany plans to sell up to 74.12% of its stake in Uniper, with Apollo joining the bidders. Other parties vying for the stake include EPH, Equinor, and KKR. The sale could value the company at around 10 billion euros. Background: Uniper was taken over by the German government in 2022 under a 13.5-billion-euro (15.1 billion USD) rescue package, following the energy crisis triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine which heavily impacted the company's finances. Since the bailout, Berlin has recouped approximately 3.5 billion euros from Uniper, including repayments and dividends. As Germany’s largest gas importer, Uniper's potential sale could be one of Europe’s biggest utility transactions this year, highlighting the strategic importance of the company in the region's energy security. Comments on the deal: Energy supply has increasingly become a major geopolitical and strategic concern globally, as highlighted by supply disruptions from the Iran conflict and recent sabotage attempts targeting power infrastructure. Given Uniper's central role in German energy security, its future ownership is under close scrutiny. The German finance ministry, which oversees the government’s 99.12% holding in Uniper—advised by UBS and JPMorgan—is aiming to sell up to 74.12% to comply with the EU mandate to reduce its stake to a “blocking minority” by 2028. According to earlier Reuters reporting, Czech energy group EPH, controlled by billionaire Daniel Kretinsky, and a consortium comprising Brookfield and Canadian CPPIB, have already submitted indicative offers. Equinor and a consortium of KKR and German utility RWE have also reportedly made bids. KKR, RWE, and Equinor declined to comment. In terms of process, Uniper is being sold through a dual-track sale, where the government is also exploring a potential IPO. This public listing is reportedly favored by Uniper’s unions, who fear potential break-up of the company under new ownership. Apollo and Uniper both declined to comment for Reuters. A source involved in the talks said bidders are expected to learn in the coming weeks whether they advance to the next round. All sources requested anonymity as they are not authorized to speak publicly. (1 USD = 0.8933 euros)
