On June 10, 2022, Vitalik Buterin wrote in his post: “Please stop using ‘real name’ to refer to your passport name. Your government doesn’t get to define who you ‘really’ are. If you use a different name in most day-to-day interactions, that is your real name. ‘Passport name’, ‘legal name’, ‘slave name’ to be edgy are all fine.”
