Vitalik Buterin: Ethereum was conceived as a "world computer," but the protocol and infrastructure still need improvement

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin shared that after participating in Real World Crypto, he gained a new perspective on key use cases for the network: he highlighted Ethereum's role as a global "public bulletin board" and global shared memory as more important than smart contracts and payments. According to him, the market has already moved beyond the 2020-2022 phase: commissions are now very low, and the scaling plan should keep them at this level even as load increases. At the same time, Buterin emphasized that for all these scenarios to work effectively, Ethereum needs further development of its protocol and infrastructure.
