Vitalik Buterin believes that 2026 will be a turning point in the restoration of computational self-sovereignty — the ability of individuals and organizations to independently control their data, software, and digital infrastructure. In his opinion, the significance of this process extends far beyond the blockchain industry and affects the entire digital environment.
In 2025, Buterin took two fundamental steps in this direction. He almost completely switched to decentralized tools for working with documentation, using open-source software and end-to-end encryption.
