According to Odaily, Vitalik Buterin recently shared on platform X that the 2014 vision for Web3 aimed to create a permissionless decentralized application ecosystem. Despite being overshadowed by various "meta" and "narrative" elements, the core technology has been strengthening. Ethereum has transitioned to Proof of Stake (PoS) and is scaling, while ZK-EVM and PeerDAS are effectively realizing the "sharding" vision. The data layer protocol Whisper has evolved into Waku, supporting applications like Status, and IPFS is excelling in decentralized file retrieval. Buterin believes that all prerequisites for Web3's original vision are now in place, signaling the time for decentralized development. He cited Fileverse as an exemplary application, utilizing Ethereum and Gnosis Chain for handling names and accounts. He concluded by stating that a decentralized renaissance is imminent.

In a post on the X platform, Vitalik Buterin stated that the vision of Web3 in 2014 was to build a permissionless decentralized application ecosystem. Although this vision has been obscured by various "meta" and "narratives," its core technologies are becoming increasingly powerful. Ethereum has now achieved Proof-of-Stake (PoS) and is scaling, while ZK-EVM and PeerDAS are effectively realizing the "sharding" vision. The data layer protocol Whisper has evolved into Waku and provides support for applications like Status. IPFS performs exceptionally well in decentralized file retrieval. Vitalik believes that all the prerequisites for the original vision of Web3 are now in place, and it's time to build decentralization. He cited Fileverse as an example, calling it a model of correct practice, as it utilizes Ethereum and Gnosis Chain to handle names and accounts. He concluded by stating that a decentralized revival is imminent.

According to Foresight News, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently shared his reflections on the blockchain vision from 2014 via social media. At that time, the concept was to create permissionless decentralized applications capable of supporting functions such as finance, social media, ride-sharing, organizational governance, and crowdfunding, potentially establishing a completely alternative network built on a unified set of technologies. Over the past five years, this core vision has occasionally become unclear, with various 'meta-narratives' and 'themes' taking precedence. However, the core vision has never disappeared. In fact, the foundational technology supporting this vision is becoming increasingly robust. Buterin noted that in 2014, decentralized applications were merely experimental and were significantly more challenging to use during the Web 2.0 era compared to now. By 2026, tools like Fileverse have become sufficiently user-friendly, allowing him to frequently use them for document creation and collaboration. A decentralized renaissance is on the horizon, and individuals have the opportunity to be part of this transformation.
