PANews May 17 news, according to Cointelegraph, Ethereum researcher Justin Drake stated that the cost of launching a 51% attack on Bitcoin is about 10 billion dollars, which is much lower than the cost of attacking Ethereum. He pointed out that Ethereum's PoS mechanism not only increases the cost of attacks but also provides additional security guarantees through the community's social coordination mechanism. Justin Drake emphasized that the Ethereum community can identify and punish attackers, which is an advantage not possessed by the PoW mechanism. In addition, Matan Sitbon, founder of the blockchain interoperability developer Lightblocks, also stated that the ultimate security of Ethereum relies not only on cryptography or protocol rules but also on the community's strong social and economic coordination mechanisms.
