Pivotal upgrades for Ethereum 2.0 have been slow but steady. While technical issues continue to bother the network, something that has dragged on for over two years, researchers have now detailed three scenarios of how Ethereum 2.0’s proof-of-stake (PoS) design could still be attacked. Don’t worry; they can be fixed too.
Serious Attacks on Ethereum’s PoS design
The world’s second most valuable cryptocurrency, Ethereum (ETH), has managed to notch another ATH in the early hours of Wednesday after last week’s successful completion of the 2.0 Altair Beacon Chain update.
A group of researchers had earlier identified three potential scenarios of how the design for the new consensus mechanism could be compromised. Despite this, Ethereum Foundation’s Danny Ryan is confident that “The Merge” will not be delayed, and the fix will be rolled out before Ethereum’s upcoming upgrade.
