Decentralized Social Platforms Emerge as Privacy Solution
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently shared his vision for the future digital ecosystem on the Farcaster platform. He proposed comprehensive adoption of decentralized social platforms by 2026, combined with encrypted email service Protonmail, to create a more secure online communication environment.
Exploring Local AI Model Deployment
In the context of increasingly popular AI applications, Vitalik emphasized the importance of locally deployed large language models (LLMs). Customized fine-tuning models can meet practical needs even with limited parameter scales.
Integrated Technical Approach for Transitional Phase
- Zero-knowledge proofs enable pay-per-use models
- Trusted execution environments ensure data security
- Local filtering mechanisms optimize query efficiency
For high-concurrency scenarios, he recommended integrating multiple existing technologies to build flexible solutions. While not perfect, these approaches provide viable paths toward privacy protection.
Future Outlook: Homomorphic Encryption
Vitalik noted that fully homomorphic encryption remains the ultimate goal. Compared to transmitting data to centralized third-party services, localized processing already has practical conditions requiring continuous improvement and active promotion.
