Ethereum community members have started a petition against ProgPoW, and the number of signatories has reached nearly 80

Block beat BlockBeats news, recently, ProgPoW topic in the ethereum community caused a heated discussion. On 25 February, community members issued a petition indicating that the stakeholders had objections to activating ProgPoW. The petition and the full list of signatories have been posted on GitHub, with the number reaching nearly 80 as of 9 PM on February 27. The petition, signed by Uniswap CEO and founder Hayden Adams, Truffle Suite CEO Tim Coulter, DARMA Capital co-founder Andrew Keys and DeFi pulse co-founder Scott Lewis, argues that the change will take eaeum to a new level of fragmentation.

It is understood that ProgPoW was an algorithm change proposed before, aiming to convert ethereum's hash algorithm into an anti-asic scheme. After the scheme was proposed, community developers had a lot of discussions, but ultimately it was not approved. Recently, ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin criticized the way some community members quietly "approved" the ProgPoW proposal. In fact, the proposal is still under discussion, and the community developers have yet to agree on it.
