Techub News: Vitalik Buterin posted on Farcaster stating that he no longer agrees with the old view from 2017 that "blockchains should only record transaction order and not submit state," and explained that with the maturity of zero-knowledge technologies like ZK-SNARKs, users can verify on-chain state correctness without replaying the entire transaction history, thereby reducing trust assumptions without sacrificing usability. He also pointed out that in real-world environments, networks, nodes, and service providers may fail, and blockchains should always retain a fallback of "personal independent verification and direct use of the chain itself," comparing it to a "mountain cabin" that may not be used daily but is crucial in extreme situations.
