Vitalik Buterin Says Cryptographic Obfuscation Remains Far From Practical

Published by

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said cryptographic obfuscation could eventually enable highly secure and private blockchain applications with minimal trust by hiding a program’s internal logic while preserving its output. However, he noted the technology remains impractical because current implementations require enormous computing resources and cannot efficiently support stateful applications such as digital money. Researchers are exploring ways to improve performance, but practical deployment is still a long-term goal.
