Ethereum Co-Founder Vitalik Buterin Reveals Game-Changing Proposal for Network Efficiency and Scalability

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has proposed a simplification plan for Ethereum's Proof of Stake (PoS) mechanism. Buterin's article, titled 'Persisting with 8192 Signatures per Slot After SSF: How and Why,' aims to reduce the number of signatures per slot to 8192, addressing high technical loads. The proposal outlines three methods to achieve this: decentralised staking pools, two-tier staking, and participation through committees. These changes seek to enhance Ethereum's efficiency and scalability while preserving decentralisation.
