Ethereum core developer team lead Péter Szilágyi has warned that the upcoming PeerDAS upgrade may severely threaten Ethereum's decentralization. He pointed out that the upgrade will increase the blob size to 32MB, leading to extremely high network bandwidth requirements for block production, potentially reaching 2.5Gbit/s, which could marginalize home stakers. Szilágyi has questioned the Ethereum research team's motivations, suggesting they are promoting centralization. He has called on the community to ask researchers about the specific vision for Ethereum's future and emphasized that if the system fails to become a globally trusted "settlement layer," Ethereum will fail.
The specific implementation details of the PeerDAS upgrade will determine its actual impact on the network. Balancing decentralization, security, and network performance while advancing technological progress is a key concern for the Ethereum community and developers.
