According to ChainCatcher, Vitalik Buterin refuted the statement made by Péter Szilágyi, head of the Ethereum team, that "the research team fully accepts the idea of ​​centralizing everything as long as it can be verified": "I just attended the EF research seminar last week, and I can confirm that this is wrong. We had various discussions on minimizing centralization. Including:

  • A deeper analysis of multi-proposers to see if the builder role can be eliminated entirely;

  • Maximizing the power of inclusion lists (FOCIL);

  • The idea of ​​fork choice depends on the inclusiveness of the transaction;

  • Analysis of the Orbit SSF and ideas for accelerating the deployment of the Orbit mechanism, which could reduce the minimum deposit size by more than 10x before we do an SSF;

  • Distributed block construction for PeerDAS;

  • Network analysis and bandwidth optimization of PeerDAS and fullDAS;

  • Ways to make recovery from 51% attacks more partially automated and less dependent on the ‘social layer’;

  • Ensure include lists are fully applicable for (i) blobs and (ii) native account abstraction (e.g. EIP-7560) transactions. ”

Earlier, Ethereum team leader Péter Szilágyi expressed his concerns about the direction of Ethereum development on social media. His views involved the Ethereum PeerDAS proposal, which proposed to increase the size of Ethereum blobs to 32 MB. Szilágyi believes that the PeerDAS upgrade will hinder home stakers (usually those with simpler computing power settings) from participating in the Ethereum network, which goes against the spirit of decentralization.
