Buterin leans toward command line over browser dApps, updates ENS record via own node

  • —Buterin pointed his wallet RPC to localhost, saying many browser dApps fail to work that way
  • —Some dApps hardcode their own RPC endpoint, leaving users unable to switch providers
  • —An end-to-end test with a local Python script and node ended with an ENS record update
  • —Buterin said he is leaning toward dropping browser dApps entirely for command-line workflows
Why it matters: A signal of dApps' growing reliance on third-party RPC providers and the censorship and privacy risks that creates for users.
