Vitalik: Ethereum was created to achieve user freedom, not efficiency.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on social media platforms on January 5, 2026, reiterating that Ethereum's core mission is to "achieve user freedom" rather than pursuing efficiency or convenience. Buterin emphasized that Ethereum's primary value lies in providing "resilience"—ensuring users can maintain digital sovereignty in the face of political censorship, developer disappearance, infrastructure failures, or cyber warfare. He pointed out that Ethereum's primary goal is to become a decentralized, permissionless, and resilient blockchain space, a characteristic that traditional Web2 technologies and financial systems lack.
