Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin emphasizes the importance of good social philosophy within Ethereum’s application layer, where developers make decisions about decentralized applications. Buterin argues that while a programming language like C++ may not be influenced by ideology, Ethereum’s layer 1 is more susceptible to philosophical influence due to proof-of-stake and other factors.

Buterin highlights apps like Railgun, Farcaster, Polymarket, and Signal as examples of apps with good social philosophy, contrasting them with platforms like Pump.fun, Terra, LUNA, and FTX as examples of bad social philosophy. He emphasizes that developers’ beliefs influence the functionality and purpose of the apps they create.
