Vitalik refutes Péter Szilagyi's statement that the Ethereum research team accepts the idea of ​​centralizing everything

Vitalik Buterin refuted Ethereum team leader Péter Szilágyi’s claim that the research team is fully accepting of the idea of ​​centralizing everything as long as it can be verified: “I just attended the EF research workshop last week, and I can confirm that this is wrong. We had various discussions on minimizing centralization. This included: * A deep analysis of multi-proposers to see if the builder role can be eliminated entirely; * Maximizing the power of inclusion lists (FOCIL); * Ideas on fork choice depending on transaction inclusion; * Analysis of the Orbit SSF and ideas on accelerating the deployment of the Orbit mechanism, which may reduce the minimum deposit size by more than 10 times before we do the SSF; * Distributed block construction for PeerDAS; * Networking analysis and bandwidth optimization for PeerDAS and fullDAS; * Ways to make recovery from 51% attacks more partially automated and less dependent on the ‘social layer’; * Ensuring inclusion lists fully work for (i) blobs and (ii) native account abstractions (e.g. EIP-7560) transactions. ” Earlier today, Ethereum team leader (Team Lead) Péter Szilágyi expressed concerns about the direction of Ethereum development on social media. His views involve the Ethereum PeerDAS proposal, which proposes 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. Szilágyi wrote on X: "Ethereum researchers are "murdering" home stakers in front of everyone. This is not what I expected when I joined Ethereum. Now I am happy to prove that this is not the case, but I feel that Ethereum is losing its main line. The research team seems to have fully accepted the idea of ​​centralizing everything as long as it can be verified. This is a joke: decentralized verification but centralized control. "
