Lily Liu: "Permissioned Blockchain" is Strangling the Crypto Soul, We Should Reclaim the Native Spirit of Cryptography"

BlockBeats News, November 17, Lily Liu, Chair of the Solana Foundation, posted on social media calling for a return of the "crypto world to the cypherpunk spirit."

Lily Liu said, "We are in the 'enterprise chain' era—where those with massive balance sheets and ready-made distribution channels can wrap a single sequencer in fancy marketing, while rigidly narrating 'decentralization is actually irrelevant,' and claiming that this centralization effort 'is helping Layer1 development,' even though everyone knows this is just a logically contradictory propaganda."

At the same time, truly crypto-native application chain infrastructure is being crushed by corporate giants. Even in revenue distress, these projects begin to self-hypnotize, believing that the only way out is to transform themselves into an 'enterprise chain.' This is by no means the vision I longed for when I first read the 'peer-to-peer electronic cash system' whitepaper, and I am sure this is also the common voice of the vast majority of crypto practitioners."
