Decentralized stablecoins remain one of crypto's most pressing challenges. According to Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin, three critical problems continue to plague the ecosystem. The technical barriers aren't trivial—they span design, incentive mechanisms, and scalability. Until these obstacles are addressed, the vision of truly decentralized stable value transfer stays incomplete. Developers and researchers are actively exploring solutions, but consensus on the best path forward remains elusive in the community.

Vitalik is praying again. How long have these three issues really been stuck? It feels like we're always exploring and never have a solution.

Vitalik is crying out about difficulties again, but to be honest, these three issues are indeed not that easy to solve. Design, incentives, and scalability are all tricky problems.

Vitalik is at it again, as usual with many issues... Decentralized stablecoins are essentially a false proposition.

To be honest, I already knew these three questions that Vitalik mentioned, but truly solving them still depends on time. Decentralized stablecoins always feel like they're in the "exploration" stage, which is a bit frustrating.

NGL, Vitalik is talking about the same old stuff again. Those three questions, really no one can break through the deadlock, right?

Nah, even V God said it's not resolved yet. This round of stablecoins probably need to wait a bit longer.

At 2 a.m., I started thinking again after reading this article. Three critical problems, Vitalik is right, but I am more concerned about the liquidity gap data behind these issues... Currently, the slippage situation of stablecoin trading pairs on DEXs is simply an arbitrage paradise. Whoever can solve the incentive mechanism problem first will be able to reap this wave of benefits.

Vitalik is talking about problems again, but this time it sounds like they might really be hard to solve...

Honestly, Vitalik is right. The stablecoin pit is indeed deep... Technical design, incentive mechanisms, scalability—each one is a major issue.
