Cypherpunk is slow, not hyper-financialized and unlike Twitter

Duration: 00:07:47

Speaker: Sebastian Buergel

Type: Lightning Talk

Expertise: Intermediate

Event: Devcon

Date: Nov 2024

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?
