Vitalik Buterin Explains the Hierarchy of Blockchain Scaling

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin says Ethereum draws inspiration from both BitTorrent and Linux to define its future. Like BitTorrent, it proves decentralized systems can scale globally without central control. Like Linux, it shows that open and permissionless networks can gain trust from enterprises and governments. Buterin explained that Ethereum’s Layer 1 is designed to be a neutral financial and infrastructure foundation, enabling individuals and organizations to operate autonomously, reduce dependence on intermediaries, and support large-scale, real-world adoption.
