Cypherpunk is slow, not hyper-financialized and unlike Twitter by Sebastian Buergel | Devcon SEA

Thu, Oct 2, 2025, 12:00 AM

In this lightning talk I will present three major directions that we need to tackle to make Ethereum Cypherpunk: 1. Against popular trends, I call for increasing block time (instead of making it faster) to increase resilience via better DVT and mixnets - both are struggling with low latency blocks 2. Let's revive the Ethereum world computer, not just financial infrastructure and their implications 3. Rethink [d]app UX entirely - how does resilient human interaction feel like in the digital era?
