TechFlow reports on August 18 that Vitalik Buterin has minted a new ENS domain, "dacc.eth". DACC stands for "defensive accelerationism" (d/acc), contrasting with the widely discussed "effective accelerationism" (e/acc) in Silicon Valley. While e/acc advocates accelerating societal well-being through technological progress, d/acc emphasizes advancing technology in areas such as cybersecurity and privacy protection to counter potential threats. Vitalik believes that prioritizing defense not only creates a safer world but also fosters healthier, more open, and freedom-respecting governance. The core of d/acc lies in using technological development to defend against potential attacks and risks across various domains.
Previous report, Vitalik published a lengthy article discussing technological optimism, arguing that a defense-prioritizing world is not only safer but also promotes healthier and freer governance.
