Ethereum Leaps As ETH Co-Founder Vitalik Buterin Shares Proof-of-Stake (PoS) Simplification Proposal
The leading smart contract platform by volume is seeing a rise in price after its co-founder shared a proposal to simplify its proof-of-stake (PoS) mechanism. In a new thread, Ethereum (ETH) co-founder Vitalik Buterin release his proposal on how to improve the top altcoins blockchain, saying that it would make the proof-of-stake system “considerably simpler and lighter.” In the proposal, Buterin says that the upgrade would boost decentralization and allow regular individuals to partake in staking. However, he notes that the proposal comes at a high cost. According to Buterin, Ethereums centralization works against it because if it were to suffer an attack, it would cost the network about 9 million tokens, or $20 billion. Buterin concludes that the optimal number of signatures to process per slot for ETH is 8192 as it would make it “much easier for anyone to run a consensus client, and users, staking enthusiasts and others would be able to immediately work off of that assumption.” After the announcement, the price of Ethereum jumped to $2,442. However, it has since stabilized and is trading for $2,370 at time of writing, a fractional increase during the last 24 hours.
