Vitalik Buterin has cautioned against extending Ethereum validator consensus to high-risk applications, advocating the preservation of chain minimalism.
) holders or validators can be bribed to vote on, which may result in a “fork out the bad participants' money” if there is disagreement.
However, he acknowledged a need for better oracles, proposing a case-by-case approach because various problems are “inherently so different” from each other. Overall, Buterin said that any expansion of the “duties” of Ethereum's consensus increases the costs, complexities, and risks of running a validator.Application-layer projects “taking actions that risk increasing the ‘scope’ of blockchain consensus to anything other than verifying the core Ethereum protocol rules,” should be treated with caution, he said, summarizing:
“We should instead preserve the chain’s minimalism, support uses of re-staking that do not look like slippery slopes to extending the role of Ethereum consensus, and help developers find alternate strategies to achieve their security goals.”
