11-13, 17:20–17:30 (Asia/Bangkok), Stage 4
In this lightning talk I will present three major directions that we need to tackle to make Ethereum Cypherpunk:
1. Against popular trends, I call for increasing block time (instead of making it faster) to increase resilience via better DVT and mixnets - both are struggling with low latency blocks
2. Let's revive the Ethereum world computer, not just financial infrastructure and their implications
3. Rethink [d]app UX entirely - how does resilient human interaction feel like in the digital era?
