Buterin: dApp ecosystem is key to solving centralized infrastructure failures

Ethereum (ETH) founder Vitalik Buterin said on X that the dApp ecosystem must be developed to counter failures in centralized infrastructure, such as the recent Cloudflare outage. The incident in November paralyzed approximately 20% of websites globally. Buterin argued that to prevent such events, dApps that are not subject to external pressures must become foundational infrastructure for society. He noted that the crypto industry's ideal of decentralization is being eroded for the sake of convenience and urged the sector to regain its technical independence. Buterin also suggested that the introduction of related futures products could be discussed for the ETH network to enhance the predictability of gas fees.
