Vitalik's PoS Simplification Proposal: Why 8,192 Signatures Per Slot Could Be Ethereum's Sweet Spot
The Signature Conundrum
Ethereum currently handles about 28,000 signatures per slot - a number that balloons to 1.79 million after SSF. As someone who’s analyzed blockchain architectures for a decade, I can confirm Vitalik’s assessment: we’re paying enormous technical costs for decentralization theater. The complexity permeates everything from BLS optimizations to quantum resistance dilemmas.
Here’s the cold reality: Supporting millions of validators requires sacrifices even Python would disapprove of (remember “There should be one obvious way to do it”?). Yet our current 32 ETH minimum still excludes most individuals while creating systemic fragility.
Three Roads to 8,192
1. The DVT Ultimatum
Raise minimum stake to 4,096 ETH (≈$10M at current prices), forcing small holders into decentralized validator pools. Pros? Engineers get their sanity back. Cons? We’re essentially rebuilding Proof-of-Stake as Proof-of-Pool.
2. Two-Tiered Staking
Create heavyweight validators (4,096 ETH+) for finality and lightweight ones (no minimum) for attestations. My analysis shows this could maintain security while allowing micro-staking - though it does institutionalize class warfare in our consensus mechanism.
3. Rotating Accountability
My personal favorite - select 4,096 active validators per slot with carefully balanced ETH weights. The math gets deliciously complex here: if the largest validator holds 262,144 ETH (≈$655M), we achieve ≈900K ETH attack cost while allowing 1 ETH min-stakes. It’s like musical chairs with cryptographic proof.
The Analyst’s Verdict
As much as I love elegant chaos, Vitalik’s proposal offers something rare in crypto: pragmatic constraints. Capping signatures at 8,192 gives developers a clear target while preserving optionality for future scaling. The real question isn’t technical - it’s whether we value ideological purity over operational simplicity. And as any City veteran knows, markets eventually favor the latter.

“32 ETH로는 부족해? 이제 풀에 몸을 맡겨야 할 때!”
비탈릭의 새 PoS 제안을 보니… 현재 슬롯당 28,000개 서명 처리 시스템이 마치 김밥 주문할 때 ‘모든 재료 다 넣어주세요’ 하는 것 같네요. 기술 비용은 천정부지인데 실효성은 의문!
DKT 얼티메이템부터 시작해서 계층화된 스테이킹, 심지어 회전형 검증자 시스템까지… 솔직히 전 마지막 안대 음악의자 게임처럼 재밌을 것 같아요! (262,144 ETH 들고 있는 사람 누구죠? 갑부시군요)
결론: 개발자의 멘탈 헬스와 블록체인의 실용성을 위해선 적정선이 필요하다는 점. 여러분도 동의하시나요? 코멘츠에서 의견 나눠봐요! (암호화폐 월드에서 살아남으려면… 간단함의 미학을 깨달아야 한다는 거!)
The Crypto Diet Plan
Vitalik’s proposing we put Ethereum on a signature diet - trimming from 28K to a lean 8,192 per slot. As someone who’s debugged enough BLS aggregation to last a lifetime, I say: amen!
Pool Party or Class War?
The DVT ultimatum feels like telling retail investors ‘Bring $10M or go home.’ Meanwhile, two-tiered staking is basically creating crypto bourgeoisie vs proletariat. My INTJ brain loves the rotating validator musical chairs though - it’s like DEFI meets Squid Game.
Thought experiment: If we cap signatures at 8,192 but every validator gets a participation trophy…would that satisfy both maximalists and pragmatists? Drops mic
Віталик знайшов “золоту середину” для Ethereum!
Як аналітик криптовалют, я можу підтвердити: 28 000 підписів за слот – це як намагатися проїхати танком по Київськім мосту в годину пік.
Три варіанти на вибір:
- Зробити з PoS щось на кшталт “Доказу Пулiв” (а де ж децентралізація?)
- Розділити валідаторів на “олігархів” і “простонароддя”
- Мій улюблений – крипто-музикальні стільці з математичним підґрунтям!
8192 підписи – це не просто число, а справжнє порятунок для розробників. Хоча мій внутрішній перфекціоніст все ще плаче через втрату “чистої ідеології”. А ви як вважаєте – варто йти на компроміси заради простоти?
Die PoS-Paradoxon-Party
8.192 Signaturen pro Slot? Klingt nach einem Betatester-Problem für Python-Enthusiasten! Vitaliks Vorschlag ist wie ein Techno-Beat im Blockchain-Club: minimalistisch, aber mit genug Bass, um die Validatoren tanzen zu lassen.
DeFi-Dilemma deluxe: Aktuell haben wir mehr Signaturen als Berlins Clubs Gäste – und ähnliche Kapazitätsprobleme. Die Idee mit den rotierenden VIP-Validatoren (4.096 ETH Eintritt!) erinnert mich an unsere Berghain-Türpolitik… nur mit mehr Kryptographie.
Wer sagt’s dem Kleinanleger? Immerhin: Mit 1 ETH Mindesteinsatz könnt ihr euch bald wie Crypto-Touristen fühlen – immer willkommen, aber ohne Backstage-Pass.

Vitalik a trouvé le chiffre magique : 8192 !
Après avoir analysé les coûts techniques faramineux des 28 000 signatures actuelles (et les 1,79 million après SSF, ouch !), sa proposition ressemble à une bouffée d’air frais.
Le choix cornélien :
- Option 1 : Un stake minimum à 10M$ ? Bonjour l’exclusivité…
- Option 2 : Deux classes de validateurs ? La lutte des classes version blockchain !
- Option 3 : Mon préféré - une partie de chaises musicales cryptographiques avec 4096 joueurs.
Bref, Vitalik nous offre enfin un compromis entre idéologie et pragmatisme. Et vous, vous prendriez quelle option pour votre ETH ? 😏
एथेरियम का नया मैथ्स होमवर्क!
विटालिक ने फिर से दिखाया है कि ब्लॉकचेन की दुनिया में ‘कम ही ज्यादा है’! 28,000 सिग्नेचर्स से घटाकर 8,192 पर आना… ये वही बात हुई जैसे आपके पापा कहते थे - ‘बेटा एक टाइम पर एक ही चीज़ सीखो!’ 😂
पूल वाला गेम
4,096 ETH वाले ‘हैवीवेट’ वैलिडेटर्स का आइडिया सुनकर लगा जैसे क्रिप्टो वर्ल्ड ने भी अपने ‘VIP लाउंज’ बना लिए! छोटे इन्वेस्टर्स के लिए DVT पूल्स - जहां हम सब मिलकर एक ‘संयुक्त परिवार’ की तरह स्टेक करेंगे।
अब बताओ भाई, तुम्हें कौन सा रास्ता पसंद आया? VIP वैलिडेटर्स वाला या फिर संयुक्त परिवार वाला? कमेंट में बताओ!
Ethereum’s New ‘Tamis’ Formula
Grabe, parang nagbebenta lang ng turon sa kanto si Vitalik! Ang daming signature na 28,000 per slot, tapos gusto niya bawasan sa 8,192. Para bang sinabi niyang ‘O sige, isang pirasong turon na lang imbes na isang buong balot!’
Proof-of-Barangay Concept
Yung three options niya:
- P10M na puhunan (aba para kang nag-aapply sa Forbes list!)
- May dalawang klase ng validator - parang VIP at regular sa karaoke bar
- Musical chairs pero may math (game ka ba?)
Final Verdict: Mas okay nga yang 8,192 - hindi masyadong matamis, hindi rin maasim. Sakto lang para di maloka ang mga devs. Kayo, alin dyan ang bet niyo? Comment ng ‘Proof-of-Tara’ kung team simplifiyan tayo!
Ethereum Đang Chơi Trò ‘Thiếu Gì Ký Nấy’?
Vitalik đề xuất giảm từ 28.000 chữ ký xuống còn 8.192 mỗi slot - nghe như menu buffet all-you-can-eat mà chỉ được chọn 3 món vậy!
Phân tích kiểu Việt Nam:
- Giảm chữ ký = giảm phí gas như bà ngoại mặc cả ngoài chợ
- 4.096 ETH tối thiểu? Có khi mua validator còn khó hơn mua đất Sài Gòn!
Ai cũng bảo blockchain phải phi tập trung, nhưng code quá phức tạp thì đến Python cũng bó tay (mà Python là ‘có một cách rõ ràng để làm’ đấy nhé!).
Các bạn nghĩ sao? 8.192 có phải ‘con số vàng’ hay chỉ là trò đùa của mấy ông dev? Comment cho vui nào!
