最新报道:According to Bijie.com, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin urged the network community to strengthen its neutrality safeguards. He warned that over-reliance on a small number of block builders could expose the blockchain to censorship risks. In an August 22nd post on X, Buterin outlined three steps to limit centralization pressures. He suggested strengthening the public memory pool to prevent transaction bottlenecks, developing a distributed block construction system, and creating a fallback channel for transaction inclusion. Vitalik Buterin defended FOCIL, arguing that these would ensure that no small group of validators could veto which transactions make it to the blockchain. A core part of the Ethereum co-founder's vision is a proposal called Fork-Choice Mandatory Inclusion List (FOCIL). According to Buterin, the primary proposer still determines transaction ordering, but 16 other proposers act as auxiliary proposers, whose selected transactions must appear in the block. Unlike the primary proposer, these auxiliary participants do not bear the heavy computational workload of full block production. This lighter responsibility makes their role more accessible to a wider group of validators. The Ethereum co-founder stated that this design could be extended to smart contract wallets and privacy protocols, thereby helping to reduce reliance on centralized intermediaries. Buterin's proposal comes in response to prominent Ethereum developer Ameen Soleimani, who argues that FOCIL could have unintended consequences for validators subject to US regulation. Soleimani highlighted the example of Tornado Cash, where nearly 90% of validators avoided processing transactions. This exclusion slowed settlement times from approximately 15 seconds to over two minutes, but ultimately still allowed transactions to clear. He argues that this compromise allowed US operators to avoid potential legal liability while ensuring that other operators would eventually incorporate it. According to Soleimani, FOCIL would change this by forcing validators to include flagged transactions. He argues that this could expose participants to prosecution. He warns that US regulators could target validators, witnesses, and even developers who design such a system to enforce inclusion. The Ethereum developer also warns that courts are unlikely to recognize the distinction between proposers and auxiliary witnesses, leaving all parties vulnerable to law enforcement penalties. Beyond legal liability, Soleimani also questioned FOCIL's long-term sustainability. He stated that the current design relies on validators to handle disputed transactions out of "altruism." However, it provides no clear incentives or safeguards to balance the risks. Without these mechanisms, Soleimani believes the proposal may prove impractical in practice.
