Vitalik: Institutions and cypherpunks are not absolute enemies; a balance must be struck between cooperation and autonomy.

 Vitalik Buterin stated, "The relationship between 'institutions' (governments and enterprises) and 'cypherpunks' is very complex, neither natural allies nor natural enemies. The optimal strategy for institutions in the game is to strengthen control within a controllable range while resisting external intrusions, which also makes them often more concerned about data sovereignty and security issues than ordinary users. In the future, institutions will pay more attention to self-managed wallets and staking, which is beneficial to Ethereum's decentralization; at the same time, KYC and privacy technologies will develop in parallel, and the game around zero-knowledge proofs will exist for a long time. The core task of the Ethereum community is to build tools that protect individual self-sovereignty and freedom, while maintaining its own position in cooperation with institutions."
