Vitalik: This year is the year of "Reclaiming Computational Sovereignty," proposing the integration of technologies such as ZKP, TEE, FHE for on-premises LLM deployment

BlockBeats News, January 23rd, Vitalik published a post stating that 2026 is the year of regaining computing self-sovereignty, emphasizing the beginning of reducing data leakage to centralized services. Vitalik mentioned switching to Fileverse encrypted documents and Signal/Simplex/Session messaging apps last year (all decentralized open-source apps) and planning to further transition to OpenStreetMap/Protonmail and decentralized social networking in 2026 to protect location and communication privacy.

Vitalik also discussed the progress and pain points of locally deploying LLM, suggesting a future path for efficient privacy computing through a combination of technologies such as ZKP, TEE, and FHE.
