Vitalik Buterin: Only Bitcoin and Ethereum can survive without foundations

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin stated on WarpCast that true decentralization can be tested by whether a blockchain can survive without its foundation. He believes only Bitcoin and Ethereum can confidently meet this standard. Most Ethereum development occurs outside the foundation, with independent client teams and researchers. Buterin warned against sacrificing decentralization for higher TPS, emphasizing that resilience is a rare and valuable trait.
