Vitalik proposes "digital minimalism": leveraging AI to reduce reliance on social media and the internet.

48 minutes ago

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin today published an article titled "Digital Minimalism," proposing that in the AI era, people should consciously reduce their reliance on social media, mobile internet, and website interfaces to regain control over their digital lives. Buterin shared three practices: First, he reduced direct use of X, instead using Firefly to manage X, Bluesky, Farcaster, and Lens simultaneously to avoid information interference from algorithmic recommendations; Second, he kept his phone in airplane mode by default for 100 consecutive days, only connecting via Wi-Fi, to reduce location data leaks and cultivate offline living habits; Third, he reduced reliance on websites and web applications, switched to command-line tools to handle some on-chain operations, and leveraged AI to lower usage barriers. Buterin believes that websites and web applications carry privacy and security risks, while the development of local AI, offline applications, and modular tools allows users to operate computers via natural language, reducing dependence on complex platform interfaces. He refers to this trend as digital minimalism, arguing that AI can not only improve people's efficiency in using the internet but may also make the internet unnecessary in more scenarios.

Iron Fish has announced it will cease network support, after a vulnerability allowed double-spending of the same asset. The project will archive its code repository once the flaw is fixed.

Privacy blockchain project Iron Fish announced it will formally end all remaining support for the Iron Fish network later today, and archive its code repository after fixing the underlying vulnerability. The team said it previously detected abnormal activity involving the wIRON token and ChainPort cross-chain bridge. After collaborating with ChainPort to review logs, the issue was confirmed to stem from an inflation vulnerability in the Iron Fish blockchain itself, with its root cause traced to a code commit in the Merkle Tree implementation from early 2019. A flaw in the nullifier calculation mechanism for transaction notes allowed attackers to double-spend the same asset, then aggregate the related assets and transfer funds out via the ChainPort cross-chain bridge. The team added that this code path had been subject to both internal and external audits, yet the vulnerability remained undetected. Iron Fish has now submitted a vulnerability fix patch and attached a detailed post-mortem analysis report in the relevant pull request (PR), and will subsequently close and archive its code repository. The project also warned that most crypto networks cannot upgrade their code immediately, and are facing growing security risks. As the ability to discover and exploit complex code vulnerabilities becomes more widespread, the security protection pressure on blockchain projects is rising.
