Vitalik Buterin proposed three practical tests, namely the walk-away test, the insider-attack test, and the trusted-computing-base test, to assess whether a project is truly decentralized and secure
Vitalik Buterin highlighted Farcaster and Privy embedded wallets as examples of decentralized crypto products that empower users by allowing key exports or alternative login methods through blockchain accounts.
Vitalik Buterin proposed the “insider attack test” to help crypto developers assess how much damage could be caused by compromised employees or malicious insiders with backend access to a protocol.
Vitalik Buterin introduced the “walk-away test” as a benchmark for evaluating decentralization, asking whether users would retain access to their digital assets if a crypto company and its infrastructure ceased to exist.
Vitalik Buterin introduced the “trusted computing base” test, which evaluates how much code must be inherently trusted by users in a crypto application, advocating for minimalism to improve auditability and security.
