As per Buterin, Musk’s acquisition of Twitter and the platform’s rebranding to X, have resulted in “contentious” changes. Nonetheless, Buterin shared his positive outlook on Twitter’s novel feature, the Community Notes, which has been “impressively useful.” He added:

Community Notes are not written or curated by some centrally selected set of experts; rather, they can be written and voted on by anyone, and which notes are shown or not shown is decided entirely by an open source algorithm.

The Community Notes is a space on Twitter where the community could leave notes on any posts The notes that are rated by many as helpful would be publicized by the platform. The Ethereum founder asserted that the Community Notes could act as an educational tool, sharing information and notions on various contents including crypto. He reiterated the algorithm’s transparency, affirming the Community Notes’ capability to ensure security and preclude “centralized manipulation.”
