On Wednesday, the Canadian programmer publicly announced his support for two messenger services. He donated 128 Ether to each, amounting to a total of 256 ETH \u2013 approximately $775,000.<\/p>\n<p>However, Buterin also expressed criticism in his message. Buterin is not satisfied with Signal, a very well-known messenger known for its excellent encryption. The program has two significant weaknesses.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Encrypted messaging, like with Signal, is crucial for protecting our digital privacy. Two important next steps in this area are 1. permissionless account creation and 2. metadata protection. Session and SimpleX are two messaging apps that are driving these developments forward,&#8221; Buterin wrote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-container brlbs-cmpnt-content-blocker brlbs-cmpnt-with-individual-styles\" data-borlabs-cookie-content-blocker-id=\"x-alias-twitter-content-blocker\" data-borlabs-cookie-content=\"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\">\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-preset-b brlbs-cmpnt-cb-x\">\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-thumbnail\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.coinpro.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/borlabs-cookie\/1\/cb-twitter-main.png')\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-main\">\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-content\">\n<p class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-description\">You are currently seeing a placeholder content of <strong>X<\/strong>.

He is responding to growing state threats. The Canadian is considered the inventor of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinpro.ch\/en\/knowledge\/what-is-ethereum-and-how-does-it-work-basics-for-beginners\/\">Ethereum<\/a>. Together with seven other people, he founded ETH in 2013. By 2015, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinpro.ch\/en\/knowledge\/what-is-a-blockchain-basics-and-functionality\/\">blockchain<\/a> was developed that forewent encryption and instead publicly disclosed sensitive user data.<\/p>\n<p>In September, Ethereum founded its own working group called PSE, which exclusively deals with the production of encrypted software. Its task is to transform Ethereum into a confidential ecosystem. Buterin remains on the board of the Ethereum Foundation to this day and is considered the most important mastermind of the ecosystem. This new development therefore also originated from him.<\/p>\n<p>At the founding of the PSE, Buterin warned of a harmful development in the digital world. If Ethereum does not establish confidentiality, the blockchain would degenerate into an instrument of surveillance, he stated. Blockchain analysts and authorities could then jointly put the network under pressure.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/VitalikButerin\/status\/1971738798653690040\">The programmer also expressed<\/a> similar concerns with regard to other digital systems. Messaging traffic is threatened by more repressive laws \u2013 especially in the EU, where a draft law nicknamed Chat Control is being discussed.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of just warning about increasing political repression, the billionaire is now taking concrete measures and, with his donations, is promoting encrypted messenger services that also rely on decentralized hosting to take the wind out of the sails of attacks \u2013 for example, by state actors.<\/p>\n<p>In Iran, users had already succeeded in 2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinpro.ch\/news\/session-iran-geoblock\/\">in circumventing state censorship using Session<\/a>. Through its own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinpro.ch\/en\/knowledge\/what-are-cryptocurrencies-explanation-for-beginners\/\">cryptocurrency<\/a> called Session Token, the project shows a special proximity to the crypto market. At that time, the competitor SimpleX did not yet exist.<\/p>\n<p>Image: Techcrunch via <a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/XC7uv2\">Flickr<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin continues to promote encrypted digital infrastructure.
