Buterin has come up with an interesting metric. At the ETH ChiangMai event in late January, he proposed the concept of a "Walkaway Test," which apparently measures the true independence of dApps.
So, what are dApps? They are decentralized applications that run on blockchain, but there's been criticism that many existing dApps are not fully decentralized. What Buterin wants to point out is, if the development team suddenly disappears, or the servers go down, can users continue to use the app normally? That’s what true independence means.
Currently, even though blockchain technology itself is designed to be trustless, many dApps still rely on Web2-style centralized logins and servers. In other words, they are built on the blockchain but still depend on traditional systems behind the scenes. This contradicts the original purpose of decentralization.
I think this test highlights the current state of dApp development quite well. To create truly decentralized applications, there are still many challenges to overcome.
