Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, shared his thoughts on the blockchain’s most common use cases.
Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, provided a clear view of how many use cases are being built and deployed on the Ethereum blockchain on Dec. 5. His list listed his five favourite applications.
Vitalik’s opinions about Ethereum and blockchains seemed as highly abstract recently as a few years ago. Now it’s about the already implemented ideas instead of the new ones.

Vitalik prefers apps built on Ethereum that focus on the use case of “money.” The famous merge is vitalik’s point, which has allowed speed up trades and transactions on the network and deprived the fees charged.
Following are some of his top use cases that have grown in popularity in recent years: DeFi and Digital Identity.

In addition to DeFi’s rising crypto market dominance, Vitalik emphasized the importance of stablecoins, saying, “Decentralized stablecoins remain and probably always will be the most important defi product.”
While Vitalik seems optimistic about identity platforms, he is skeptical about the platforms that build them. In Vitalik’s terms, centralized efforts to achieve digital identity are the wrong way to work on such products; instead, they require decentralized tools to build it from scratch.
Nonetheless, he lauded the development of ENS, SIWE, PoH, POAPs, and other benefits structures in an individuality ecosystem.
Hybrid Apps & DAOs for Ethereum
Vitalik celebrates the evolution in these two sectors and envisions further iterations and products to enhance its productivity.
In addition to Maker DAO’s $7.8 billion in collateral, the Ethereum co-founder referred to MKR MKR, which has a market cap over 17x that of the profit-taking token, MKR”. Therefore, if MKR holders had no stake in the governance of oracles, they could manipulate the price of oracles by buying up half of the MKR and robbing a large amount of the collateral for themselves.

Although Maker has managed to avoid such a catastrophic event because it has happened to other smaller projects, Vitalik is sure that further actions will ease the abnormalities within a period.
While many applications and systems do not entirely operate on blockchains, Vitalik noted they use them to improve trust models. Most of these hybrid applications and “voting” for one is an outstanding example of this process.
