Vitalik: Ethereum network should respond to 51% attacks in a more automated way
Odaily Odaily News Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin advocated for pushing the Ethereum network to be better prepared for 51% attacks in his keynote speech at the ETHCC in Brussels. He believes that an automatic response to such attacks should be prepared, which will reduce the pressure on the social layer. A potential response to such an attack is to have honest validators turn to a fork of the chain. The current plan will rely heavily on social consensus, with community members working together to agree on the fork. However, Buterin believes that it would be better if the network could be better prepared for such a response. He said that this response is largely automated and planned in advance.
