According to Odaily Planet Daily, Vitalik Buterin refuted the statement of Péter Szilágyi, head of the Ethereum team, that "the research team fully accepts centralization." Buterin said that the EF research workshop discussed various methods to minimize centralization, including multiple proposers, maximizing the power of the inclusion list, fork selection, Orbit SSF, PeerDAS and fullDAS network analysis, etc.

Szilagyi had earlier expressed concerns on social media about the Ethereum PeerDAS proposal, arguing that the proposal would hinder home stakers from participating in the Ethereum network and go against the spirit of decentralization. He believed that the research team had accepted the idea of ​​centralized control.
