The co-founder of Ethereum recently released an in-depth reflection on the balance of power, discussing how decentralized models can address the longstanding issue of power imbalance. The core point is straightforward: project teams must confront the hidden dangers of centralized authority. Whether it is governance rights, validation rights, or resource allocation rights, excessive concentration can sharply reduce the ecosystem's resilience. This is not only a technical issue but also a strategic one concerning the long-term vitality of the project. More and more Web3 projects are beginning to realize that true competitiveness lies not in short-term traffic and capital, but in whether they can build genuinely distributed power structures. This perspective offers many insights into the development direction of the entire Ethereum ecosystem.

The old tune of centralizing power, how many times has it been said... But how many projects truly achieve decentralization? The nice-sounding ones are all scams.

Well said, centralization of power is indeed a hidden risk, and many projects are still pretending not to see it.

Well said. The issue of centralized power is truly the Achilles' heel for most projects. They talk about decentralization on the surface, but behind the scenes, it's still a handful of people calling the shots. This guy finally spoke some real truths, but whether most projects will listen is another story. Decentralizing power sounds easy, but actually implementing it is really difficult. Many project teams are still playing with single-point control. Someone should have exposed this facade long ago. Traffic and capital are all illusions; the ecosystem is the real strength. I think the Ethereum ecosystem is on the right track. At least projects that dare to face this issue will survive longer. That said, how many projects in reality truly achieve decentralized power? Come on, they're all just scams. Centralized power is as important as technology choices. Unfortunately, many founders haven't even considered this issue. I agree with this view. I'm just worried it will turn into another PPT promise, and ultimately, it will fall into the curse of power games.
