Vitalik schlägt vor, den Schwellenwert für den Ethereum-Validator von 32 auf 1 ETH zu senken

Ive been waiting for this for 3 years but 1 ETH is too low. Rip yield if it happens

tldr; Vitalik Buterin proposes reducing Ethereum’s validator threshold from 32 ETH to 1 ETH to democratize staking and enhance decentralization. The current 32 ETH requirement is seen as a barrier for smaller participants. Lowering it to 1 ETH would encourage more solo stakers, potentially decreasing centralization. Buterin also suggests a ‘single-slot finality’ feature to speed up block confirmations and maintain network efficiency. This proposal aims to make Ethereum more accessible while ensuring security and stability.

**No Vitalik didn’t. It’s not a proposal.**

Please don’t read this bullshit article and instead read the original source from Vitalik: https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2024/10/14/futures1.html

All Vitalik was doing is explaining the “Possible futures of the Ethereum protocol” and what their tradeoffs would be.

1. **Remain at the status quo**: a balance of decentralization, time to finality, and node overhead
1. **Maximize validator count** (e.g. decrease validator requirements from 32 Eth to 1 Eth) – Better for solo-stakers, but not really due to node requirements
1. **Minimize Time to (economic) finality** (i.e. Single-slot finality) – Not just technical finality like Algorand but meaningful economic finality
1. **Minimize overhead** of running of a verification node

It’s a trade-off between 3 goals, and you can’t maximize all three.

————————–

BLS aggregation, which is already incredibly fast (log2 n), cannot decrease to Single-Slot Finality time with Ethereum’s current amount of decentralization. So Vitalik brings up several proposals like Orbit Committees and Two-Tiered Staking that can reduce the time to economic finality.

* **Orbit SSF Committees**: A complex validator rotation/selection sampling method that always includes high-amount stakers, so it has a high chance of being true while still including rotations of low-amount stakers
* **Two-Tiered Staking** allows for lower-amount stakers to delegate to higher-amount stakers, allowing for faster attestation and finality
* **Brute-Force SSF**: a method that requires high tech that hasn’t been solved yet. (I don’t fully understand this proposal, and it’s my first time hearing about it.)

He also several other related topics:

**Single secret leader election (SSLE)**: Prevents validator proposers to be known or DoS’ed ahead of time. Would also be replaced by PBS/ABS (Attestor-Builder Separation).

**Faster transaction confirmation**: e.g. faster block/slot times while not necessarily coupled with reducing finality time. Personally, I think this is kind of pointless without also reducing the finality time.

**51% attack recovery**: This is actually really important. How does a community recover from a 67% attack past finality? There can be situations where a major client bug causes a fork. Raising the safety threshold higher than 67% is the easy way, but it also makes solo-stakers pointless and reduces censorship resistance.

Lastly, please keep in mind that these articles are not just single-handedly written by Vitalik. Other core developers and Ethereum Researchers like Justin Drake, Hsiao-wei Wang, antonttc, Anders Elowsson, and Francesco contributed to it.
