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

On July 27th, Vitalik Buterin refuted Péter Szilágyi, the team lead of Ethereum, who claimed that the research team fully accepted any centralized idea as long as it can be verified. Buterin stated, "I just attended the EF research workshop last week, and I can confirm that this is incorrect. We discussed various topics to minimize centralization, including:

* In-depth analysis of multi-proposers to see if the builder role can be completely eliminated;

* Maximizing the power of inclusion lists (FOCIL);

* Ideas about fork selection depending on transaction inclusivity;

* Analysis of Orbit SSF and ideas to accelerate the deployment of Orbit mechanisms, which may reduce the minimum deposit threshold by more than 10 times before we conduct SSF;

* Distributed block construction for PeerDAS;

* Network analysis and bandwidth optimization for PeerDAS and fullDAS;

* More partially automated methods to recover from 51% attacks, reducing dependence on the 'social layer';

* Ensuring that inclusion lists are fully applicable to (i) blobs and (ii) native account abstractions (such as EIP-7560) transactions."

Earlier today, Szilágyi expressed concerns about the direction of Ethereum's development on social media, specifically regarding the PeerDAS proposal to increase the Ethereum blob size to 32 MB. Szilágyi believes that the PeerDAS upgrade will hinder home stakers (usually those with simpler computing setups) from participating in the Ethereum network, which goes against the spirit of decentralization.

Szilágyi wrote on X, "Ethereum researchers are 'killing' 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 think Ethereum is losing its main line. The research team seems to fully accept any centralized idea as long as it can be verified. This is a joke: decentralized verification but centralized control."
