It takes 7 entities in Ethereum to control 33.4% of the total amount staked and 19 entities to control 50.1% of the total amount staked. People should stop falling for the validator count psyop. There are zero reasons for the consensus to handle 2M+ signatures to finalize a block when the majority of the stake is handled by a relatively small number of entities.
Btw, Alpenglow commits to ordering within ≈100ms with a large validator set on a happy path. This is real "latency" unlike your BS trustmebro pre-confirmations
Finished reading the paper. I can proudly say that after 4 years of trying, I finally understand how Solana's consensus works (there's a caveat though!).
Alpenglow brings lot of cool stuff, some meh stuff and stuff that I disagree with to the table. Will do a longer thread tmrw. Off to bed now.
REV denialism is retarded. REV maximalism is also retarded.
Optimize for growth short-term and REV long-term. All of this shit is going to 0 if we don't have a single use case that can bring sustainable revenue long-term and scale to masses outside the CT circle jerk.
