Instead, he argues security should focus on aligning user intent with system behavior
✅ Vitalik Buterin says security is about minimizing the gap between user intent and system outcomes
✅ He argues user experience and security are deeply connected, not separate fields
✅ Even simple actions like sending crypto contain hidden ambiguities and trust assumptions
✅ Perfect security is unrealistic because human intent cannot be fully encoded
✅ Privacy adds complexity as metadata timing and network signals can leak information
✅ Buterin proposes redundancy as a core design principle with multiple independent checks
✅ Tools like multisig wallets spending limits and identity layers can reduce risk
✅ He says LLMs may help detect suspicious behavior but should not be solely relied upon
✅ True security comes from layered systems validating intent from different angles
👉 If perfect security is impossible, what should the next generation of crypto wallets optimize for?
