Vitalik advocates for using Open Source to replace the public goods funding model.

Gate.io News bot message, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik published a blog post proposing that funding focus should shift from "public goods" to the "Open Source" sector.

Vitalik pointed out in the text that the concept of "public goods" has a problem of vague definition, while the concept of "Open Source" is clearly defined and possesses the characteristics of public goods. He emphasized that the open source model is not only applicable to multiple fields but can also expand its definition in the crypto space through open standards and other means.

In addition, Vitalik believes that the open source model is more beneficial for promoting the construction of global public infrastructure. He suggests focusing on developing and open sourcing the projects that hold the most value for humanity, and making the assessment of project value a key aspect of the public goods funding mechanism.
