Ethereum $2,660Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of , introduced the concept of ‘Ethereum harmony’, which aims to achieve greater harmony between various sectors in the Ethereum ecosystem. This concept emphasizes the importance of technical and economic alignment within the community, as well as value alignment such as embracing open source principles and support for public services.
Ensuring Ecosystem Integration
Buterin proposed this new framework to integrate decentralization and collaboration in the Ethereum ecosystem. This framework, called ‘Ethereum harmony’, aims to unite various groups such as client teams, researchers and developers towards a harmonious ecosystem.
Vitalik Buterin emphasized the importance of adopting open source principles that ensure transparency and security. These principles are expected to contribute to the harmonious functioning of projects in the Ethereum community.
Technical and Economic Alignment
‘Ethereum alignment’ also aims to support initiatives that contribute to public services while reducing decentralization. It also aims to increase the benefits and network effects of ETH across the ecosystem by promoting its use as a primary token.
To measure and encourage compliance, Buterin suggested adopting specific metrics that reflect the core values of the ecosystem. These metrics include compliance with open source practices as defined by the Free Software Foundation and the Open Source Initiative.
It also emphasizes a commitment to positive-sum work that minimizes decentralization and benefits the Ethereum community at large. In this context, it is considered important for organizations such as L2beat to monitor how well projects comply with these criteria.
These ‘dashboard organizations’ encourage projects to compete by monitoring their alignment with Ethereum’s core values. Buterin expects these organizations to operate independently of the Ethereum Foundation and thus maintain their neutrality.
This concept of ‘harmony’ implemented in the Ethereum ecosystem will ensure that the future of Ether grows while staying solid, unified and true to fundamental principles. In this way, the ecosystem aims to achieve a more consistent and sustainable structure both technically and economically.
