Been reflecting lately on how protocol design is not just about efficiency, but about values.
• Data availability isn’t just a technical concept, it’s about ensuring anyone, even with low bandwidth, can verify the chain.
• Incentives aren’t just economics, they’re about aligning human behavior with resilience.
• Decentralization isn’t just a slogan, it’s our best tool for reducing single points of failure in both tech and society.
Ethereum upgrades like Fusaka are one step, but the broader journey is about making systems that remain robust even when humans (myself included!) are imperfect.
Curious to hear: what do you think is the most underappreciated principle in Ethereum’s design today?
