以下はMeetup with Audrey & Glenでの「trustless(信頼不要)ではなく trust-building(信頼構築)が重要」というテーマに関するやり取りを引用し、その背景を解説したものです。

(質問者) 「将来的に“完全に信頼不要”で“完全にオープン”な政府をつくることは可能でしょうか?」 (Glen Weyl) “I don’t like the word trustless. I like the word trust-building, because what they did in Taiwan was going from a 9% to a 60% approval. So is that trustless? Well, they were somewhat trustless at the beginning, but then they created trust. We should always want to create trust, not to destroy trust. The term trustless in blockchain originally means ‘you don’t have to trust blindly something that does not deserve your trust.’ That’s what trustless means. But I think it’s quite confusing because what we’re doing with Web3 is to have a more earned version of trust, so we don’t have to blindly trust something that’s not deserving it.” (Audrey Tang) “The new situation is not about no trust. It’s only relatively low trust for the old thing, but it creates a new trust relationship between new institutions.”
