Ethereum Block Construction: Buterin’s Latest Update

Ethereum Block Construction: Buterin’s Latest Update

  • Vitalik Buterin said that the Ethereum block creating research is nearing completion.
  • Having multiple actors contributing to transactions that must be included in the block is a “good idea.”
  • Ether is currently trading at $2,505 with a significant decline in the trading volume.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to share an update on the ongoing Ethereum block construction research, indicating that it is nearing completion.

According to Buterin’s post , the Ethereum developers involved in the research have concluded that having multiple actors contributing to transactions that must be included in the block is a “good idea” but there will be debates on how to avoid possible “last mover” advantage. The billionaire added: 

“It’s good to see the progress! It feels like the block construction topic is nearing a light at the end of the tunnel.”

Buterin’s update came after Max Resnick, a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, released a new design called Braid. This design is based on the simple idea of running many instances of Ethereum’s consensus mechanism in parallel.

However, other Ethereum research team members took to X to add that Braid is a good design but there are many questions that it does not answer, adding that the “work on alternative approaches is misrepresented.”

Dan Robinson, a member of the research team at Paradigm, highlighted the beneficial points of Resnick’s design, adding that Braid does not assign a single leader who is last mover and as a result, the potential for timing advantage will be eradicated. 

Meanwhile, the price of Ether (ETH), Ethereum’s native cryptocurrency, was sluggish on Thursday, down around 0.7% in the past 24 hours with a 47.09% decline in the trading volume of the digital asset which stands at $25.28 billion. At the time of writing, ETH is trading at $2,505. On the other hand, the market capitalization of the second-largest digital asset stands at $301.46 billion.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) of the Ether token stands at 26.01 which means that the digital asset is currently in the oversold region and there is a possibility of a strong rebound in the near future as buyers take advantage of lower prices.
