Episode notes
INSIGHT

Single Slot Finality

  • Ethereum's consensus layer uses a two-phase process: block production and finalization.
  • Single slot finality, where blocks are finalized upon production, is the end goal.
INSIGHT

Validator Limits

  • The large number of validators, due to the 32 ETH cap, hinders single slot finality.
  • Verifying many signatures within a 12-second slot is currently computationally infeasible.
INSIGHT

Max Effective Balance

  • Max effective balance allows validators to consolidate stake, reducing signature verifications.
  • It increases efficiency without changing solo staker requirements.
