Ethereum team leader: Ethereum is losing its "mainline", and the research team seems to have embraced the idea of centralizing everything
The head of the Ethereum team, Péter Szilágyi, expressed his concerns about the direction of Ethereum's development on social media.
Szilágyi's point relates to the Ethereum PeerDAS proposal, which, among other changes, increases the size of the Ethereum blob to 32 MB. Szilágyi believes that the PeerDAS upgrade will discourage family staking holders (usually those with simpler hash settings) from participating in the Ethereum network, which goes against the spirit of decentralization.
Szilágyi wrote on X: "Ethereum researchers are'killing 'family pledge holders 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 feel that Ethereum is losing its main thread. The research team seems to have fully embraced the idea of centralizing everything, as long as it can be verified. It's a joke: decentralized verification, but centralized control."
