🚨 Ethereum's centralization crisis: the monopoly no one is talking about
Etherscan controls smart contract verification. It’s closed-source and holds the keys to Ethereum’s most critical data as a single company.
This is a monopoly over Ethereum’s most fundamental data. And it’s not just inconvenient—it’s complete opposite of everything Ethereum stands for.
Ethereum promises decentralization, trustlessness, and open-source. But in practice a single entity controls access, and profits off its chokehold on the ecosystem.
This is a crisis. This is unacceptable. This must change.
đź”´ Verification must be:
• Decentralized—No single gatekeeper. Multiple verifiers, not one.
• Open-source—Fully transparent and reproducable verifications.
• Open-data—No API keys, full unrestricted access.
