Vitalik: The crypto industry needs applications focused on specific functions, such as anoncast and Polymarket

ChainCatcher message, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated on Warpcast: "The idea of developing applications for the sake of needing applications is fundamentally soulless; it completely abandons the notion that cryptocurrency is meant to bring about concrete changes in the world, making it more free, open, and collaborative. At the same time, ignoring applications and focusing on generality is also a short-term escape strategy.

What we need are specific categories of applications that can truly make the world more free, open, and collaborative, and that can achieve organic usage. Polymarket is a good example, and anoncast is also a great opportunity to bring the best free speech to the forefront while avoiding the quagmire of spam and low-quality content."
