Vitalik plans to redesign Ethereum staking and praises the UTXO payment model

ChainCatcher news, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik recently stated in a blog video with The Defiant during the Devconnect conference in Turkey that he plans to redesign Ethereum staking and thoroughly address all issues affecting its performance. The Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) payment system model has been praised by Vitalik for its characteristics.

Vitalik shared his views on integrating various new protocols into the Ethereum code blockchain. He specifically mentioned private mempools, account abstraction protocol ERC-4337, code precompiles, ZK-EVMs, and liquid staking. Among these protocols, he tends to favor integrating protocols like account abstraction protocol ERC-4337, while protocols like mempools require more caution. He stated that regardless of which protocols are integrated, it involves balancing factors such as development flexibility, performance advantages, and centralization risks.

Additionally, Vitalik expressed concern over the increasing concentration of Ethereum liquid staking within the proof-of-stake model. Ethereum liquid staking providers Lido and Rocket Pool account for over 32% of the staking supply. He noted that although they have set up security mechanisms, it may not be enough.
