Vitalik Buterin on Ethereum's Latency and Decentralization Challenges
According to Vitalik Buterin, achieving sub-second latency for pre-confirmations (preconfs) on Ethereum's Layer 1 is feasible. However, implementing Single Slot Finality (SSF) at such low latencies is impractical if Ethereum aims to preserve its geographic and infrastructural decentralization. This decentralization is crucial for maintaining robustness against adverse conditions like internet censorship and denial-of-service attacks. (Source) |

Vitalik Buterin Discusses Non-Competing Research Streams in Ethereum
According to VitalikButerin, the research streams within the Ethereum ecosystem are not in competition with each other. He explains that the teams working on SSF (Single Secret Function) and preconfs (pre-configurations) operate independently and do not interfere. This separation allows for diverse development within Ethereum, potentially leading to innovative solutions without internal conflicts. (Source) |
