Buterin highlighted that the post was to clarify that some practices might lead to systemic risks. He added that players should avoid such a subset of techniques. Moreover, the Ethereum co-founder stated that the post’s proposals were benign– not directed to individuals or projects.

Buterin warned against overextending social consensus, stating that while massive layer2 platforms pause as the most secure, any bug that leads to loss of funds will translate to enormous investment losses, forcing the community to fork to recover the investor funds.

The ETH co-founder highlighted the benefit of ensuring Ethereum’s minimalism, stating that expanded consensus heightens costs, running validator risks and complexities. 

The Ethereum blockchain switched to the proof-of-stake consensus mechanism from proof-of-work in September 2022. Moreover, it activated withdrawals of the staked Ethereum following the Shapella upgrade on 12 April. That could be behind the security risks and amplified monitoring of validator roles on the Ethereum platform.

— TokenBeam (@TokenBeam) May 22, 2023 Memecoin mania clogged the Ethereum blockchain

The Ethereum blockchain saw gas fees surging to yearly highs early in the month. That came as the meme coin PEPE took the crypto world by storm, exploding in popularity. Also, the PEPE craze saw surged volumes on the Uniswap protocol. Uniswap volume surpassed Coinbase‘s $948 million, hitting $1.2 billion in May’s first week.

Tron’s Director of Public Chain Shares His Views on the Delay in Constantinople Upgrade for Ethereum

The planned testing of Ethereum’s Constantinople hard fork, scheduled for Oct. 14 was not successful. The testnet became unusable because of a consensus issue in the blockchain. Not only has this caused a stir within the Ethereum community, but the wider audience of the crypto and blockchain space also reacted to the event.

Governance, Part 2: Plutocracy Is Still Bad

Coin holder voting, both for governance of technical features, and for more extensive use cases like deciding who runs validator nodes and who receives money from development bounty funds, is unfortunately continuing to be popular, and so it seems worthwhile for me to write another post explaining why I (and Vlad Zamfir and others) do not consider it wise for Ethereum (or really, any base-layer blockchain) to start adopting these kinds of mechanisms in a tightly coupled form in any significant way.

Notes on Blockchain Governance

In which I argue that “tightly coupled” on-chain voting is overrated, the status quo of “informal governance” as practiced by Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Zcash and similar systems is much less bad than commonly thought, that people who think that the purpose of blockchains is to completely expunge soft mushy human intuitions and feelings in favor of completely algorithmic governance (emphasis on “completely”) are absolutely crazy, and loosely coupled voting as done by Carbonvotes and similar systems is underrated, as well as describe what framework should be used when thinking about blockchain governance in the first place.

The Genesis Files: With Bit Gold, Szabo Was Inches Away From Inventing Bitcoin

As his Hungarian parents had fled post-war Soviet regime to settle in the United States, Nick Szabo came to call the Californian Bay area of the 1990s his home. Here, he was among the first to frequent the in-person “Cypherpunk” meetings organized by Timothy May, Eric Hughes and other founding members of the collective of cryptographers, programmers and privacy activists centered around the ’90s mailing list of the same name.
