Vitalik Buterin is the founder of Ethereum, the largest
community-run technology powering the cryptocurrency ether (ETH) and thousands of decentralized applications.
Ethereum is a technology that's home to digital money, global payments, and applications. The community has built a booming digital economy, bold new ways for creators to earn online, and so much more. It's open to everyone, wherever you are in the world – all you need is the internet.
Ethereum is a network of computers all over the world that follow a set of rules called the Ethereum protocol. The Ethereum network acts as the foundation for communities, applications, organizations and digital assets that anyone can build and use.
You can create an Ethereum account from anywhere, at any time, and explore a world of apps or build your own. The core innovation is that you can do all this without trusting a central authority that could change the rules or restrict your access.

vitalik.eth on Twitter: "@owocki I'm excited about how @optimismPBC is getting really substantial sequencer revenues (over $100k today), and they committed to putting a lot of funds into retro public goods funding. Will be great to see how that experiment plays out. https://t.co/wHeVT4nK9C https://t.co/mMw6IXlkIR" / X
vitalik.eth on Twitter: "@owocki @optimismPBC The only US voices that alerted me to the problem were (i) US-Indians (eg. @balajis), and (ii) various largely SV-bubble venture capitalist types. So we *need* more truly-globally-focused public goods funding mechanisms somehow... if crypto can help even a bit then amazing" / X

vitalik.eth on Twitter: "This is a great example of why I'm so proud of @optimismPBC for adding non-token governance (the Citizen House). Optimism explicitly has goals *other* than just "make OP go up", and the only way to do that long-term is with explicit representation of non-token-holder interests. https://t.co/vofVVx53mC" / X
