Vitalik： We should reduce discussions on public product funding and focus more on open source funding

Odaily Planet Daily News: Vitalik Buterin published an article titled "We should talk less about public goods funding and more about open source funding", proposing that in the digital ecosystem, more attention should be paid to "open source funding" rather than "public goods funding". Vitalik pointed out that the term "public goods" is often misunderstood as "government provided goods" and is easily abused, while "open source" has a clear definition and is more suitable as the core standard for funding digital public goods. The article emphasizes that many recognized digital public goods, such as open source software and blockchain research, are open source. Therefore, focusing funding on "open source" can avoid the generalization and abuse of the concept of "public goods" He further stated that funding open source projects should not be solely based on their "open source" attributes, but should support those open source projects that are truly valuable to humanity. This is also the core issue that the public goods funding mechanism should pay attention to.
