Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin spoke at the ETHTaipei 2024 event, which was held in Taipei from March 21 to 24.
Buterin noted that a key issue facing Ethereum’s proof-of-stake (PoS) is potential centralization. He supports the concept of “rainbow proof-of-stake”, a concept originally proposed by Barnabe Monneau at the Ethereum Foundation. This mechanism is intended to incentivize all categories of service providers, including individuals and professionals involved.
One of the main ideas of the developers was to separate the existing "operators" and "principals" and introduce tiers of "heavyweight" and "lightweight" services with different levels of responsibility and income.
