nobody wants to co-own, everybody wants to own

is ethereum owned, co-owned, public, or something else? interesting discussion with @shazow.eth curious to hear what others think

A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

Gotta define ownership first. If you define it as the ability to exclude others from the resource then it's not owned by anybody because spinning up a node is permissionless

Interested in ZK, FHE, PUFs, hardware, system design, ai safety, and smart contact security.

The block space could be considered co owned primarily by stakers, they choose to run the software that sets the price

IMO we need to distinguish the protocol/consensus gadget (PoS), from the asset (ETH), from the contracts that exist on L1 and beyond (these have their own governance). Each layer depends on the governance and integrity of the layer below.

I agree completely, different aspects of the protocol have separate ownership/governance/control structures
