Ethereum (ETH) enthusiast nicknamed Superphiz.eth, an activist of the Ethereum Beacon Chain community, has shared his concerns about centralization in the upcoming ETH2 network.
Specifically, he is guessing which pool will be the first to limit its own staking ‘power‘ (market share of controlled validators involved in validating ETH transactions), representing 22% of all submissions. accuracy.
That would cut the profits of the ‘pioneer,’ but it would greatly contribute to the stability of the entire network by reducing the chance of a 51% attack.
Vitalik Buterin has proposed an ‘economic’ impetus for this possibility. It makes sense for him to increase fees for staking pool participants who control more than 15% of the network.
Once this pool’s share is back below 15%, fees can be reduced to ‘regular’ levels again.
It should be noted that Ethereum – even in its Proof-of-Work (PoW) version is criticized for being ‘centralized’: large mining pools are controlling large hash rates.
As mentioned by CoinCu earlier, the Cardano (ADA) community has faced similar issues after the launch of ADA staking. Step by step, Input-Output Global (IOG) has introduced some restrictions that make staking through large pools less profitable.
