Ethereum developers suggest increasing the limit for network validators by 6400% – Bits Media

The maximum balance for validators of the Ethereum network should be increased with 32 Eth to 2048 ETH, The initiators of the proposal are considered. The main argument: The change in the limit will increase the effectiveness of the blockchain.

The main developers of the Ethereum pay attention to the community, what The exponential growth of validators negatively affects the effectiveness of the network and does not allow you to quickly solve problems, which are faced with operators of large nodes.

According to the authors of the idea, Limit in 32 ETH was originally proposed to guarantee decentralization. However, this unintentionally led to the exponential growth of the number of validators. Currently already more 600 000 Validators are connected to the network, And also about 90 000 Expect activation. In this connection, the load on Ethereum becomes excessively high.

Supporters of the proposed decision claim: Correction of the balance limit will benefit large nodes operators, such as cryptocurrency exchanges. for instance, Coinbase, Managing tens of thousands of validators. An increase in balance limit will allow operators of large nodes to optimize operations by servicing a smaller number of validators with higher rates, indirectly reducing the complexity and requirements for resources.

Since the developers of the Ethereum network could not come to a consensus about the possible increase in the limit of the balance of validators, The continuation of the discussion and collection of community opinions was transferred to the Ethmagicians and Discord social networks platforms.
