Vitalik Buterin addresses accusations of neglecting DeFi, defending his views on decentralized finance and the importance of sustainability and core principles of the Ethereum ecosystem.
The Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has spent some time responding to accusations over the weekend that he “doesn’t care” about decentralized finance.
These viewpoints began to particularly populate crypto social media spaces over the past weekend as Kain Warwick, the inventor behind the concept of yield farming, made an appearance on a popular crypto online talk show on Aug. 23.
The show hosts prompted a conversation based on an older post on X from Warwick that complained about the recognition of DeFi’s role in the Ethereum ecosystem by the Ethereum Foundation (EF).
