Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has ignited speculation within the crypto community after registering the dacc.eth domain name. This move comes months after the influential figure introduced the concept of “Defensive Accelerationism” (d/acc) as a counterbalance to the prevailing “Effective Accelerationism” (e/acc) philosophy.
Buterin’s d/acc framework emphasizes a cautious and responsible approach to technological advancement, particularly in the realm of artificial intelligence (AI). He warned about the potential dangers of unchecked AI development, including the risk of human extinction and the rise of digital authoritarianism.
In contrast to the e/acc proponents who prioritize rapid technological progress, Buterin advocates for a more deliberate and democratic path. He argues that technology should be developed with a focus on human well-being, democratic values, and risk mitigation.

The registration of the dacc.eth domain suggests that Buterin may be planning to further develop and promote his d/acc philosophy. It remains to be seen how he will utilize the domain and what specific initiatives he will undertake.
Buterin’s stance on AI and technology has garnered significant attention, with many in the tech industry and beyond debating the merits of both d/acc and e/acc. As the debate continues, the crypto community eagerly awaits further details about Buterin’s plans for dacc.eth.
