Ethereum 2.0 client Prysmatic Labs: The nodes are too centralized, and various reasonable ways will be taken to ensure client diversity

Read this article in 3 Minutes

The Prysmatic Labs team has identified four priorities that will be used to ensure client diversity.

On September 30, Ethereum 2.0 client Prysmatic Labs posted that since Prysm runs the vast majority of pledged ETH and a large number of nodes in the network, ethereum proof of interest requires the vast majority (& GT; 2/3) of online consensus participants participated. If the Prysm software fails by consensus, other client implementations will assume that less than two-thirds of the validation nodes are participating in the wrong operation, leading to collective penalties and serious problems with the blockchain.

Prysm addresses the community's concerns above and Outlines specific steps the team is taking to address the issue to improve client interoperability and diversity. Over the next few months, the team will focus on:

1. 标准化的验证器 API，使创建跨客户端使用的图形界面变得更加容易。
2. 完全支持标准以太坊信标 API，允许将 Prysm 信标节点与其他团队的验证节点客户端实现一起使用，以便更轻松地在软件之间切换。增3. 加对标准远程签名者 (如 Web3Signer) 的支持，这样可以更好地采用客户机多样性。

4. Continue to develop standards where appropriate to create rich user experiences for pledgers who choose any client.

Prysm sees the current open source ecosystem as a free software market where all clients have differentiation factors that lead individuals and organizations to make different choices. Each implementation was originally built to have specific edges for different user roles. Prysm is opposed to forcing implementation teams to achieve equal outcomes and believes client competition is essential.
