According to ChainCatcher, Péter Szilágyi, head of the Ethereum core development team, recently issued a warning on social media that the upcoming PeerDAS upgrade could seriously threaten the decentralization of Ethereum. Szilágyi pointed out that PeerDAS plans to increase the blob size to 32MB, which will result in extremely high network bandwidth requirements for block production, possibly reaching 2.5Gbit/s. He said: "This is actually killing home stakers, which is not what I expected when I joined Ethereum."
Szilagyi questioned the motivations of the Ethereum research team, arguing that they had “fully embraced the idea that everything can be centralized as long as it can be verified.”
He called on the community to ask researchers about the specific vision of Ethereum in the next five years, including who will create blocks, store state, and what ordinary users can do without third-party operators. Szilágyi emphasized that if the final system cannot become a "global settlement layer" trusted by all countries, then Ethereum has failed.
