In a post, Vitalik disclosed that the team primarily focused on cryptoeconomics, BFT consensus, and blocks. However, this was at the expense of other important areas, including the P2P networking layer.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1238284\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1238284\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1238284 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot_20251209-071440.jpg\" alt=\"Ethereum\" width=\"636\" height=\"1072\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1238284\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/VitalikButerin\/status\/1998112138364084371\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Vitalik Buterin on X<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Having assessed the situation again, he noted that this is no longer the case. According to him, the recent performance of PeerDAS confirms this assertion. Additionally, Vitalik lauded the effort to \u201cset up a roadmap that increases resilience, propagation of speed, and network layer privacy at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vitalik\u2019s post attracted comments from several users. Fascinatingly, one of them came from a major contributor who was tagged in the post, Raul Jordan. According to him, the work on P2P has not ended, as networking or protocol boundary is still costing them latency and throughput.<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting the current development, he disclosed that they are working on \u201ctighter integration, as well as pipelining and mechanical sympathy to completely remove inefficiencies and max out scaling and performance.\u201d Most importantly, Jordan assured that this would be done while keeping Ethereum accessible, neutral, decentralized, and resilient.<\/p>\n<h3>Background of the P2P Network Issues and Other Proposals for Ethereum<\/h3>\n<p>Over the years, one of the major issues that has been raised against the Ethereum P2P Network is anonymity. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usenix.org\/conference\/usenixsecurity25\/presentation\/heimbach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Earlier published<\/a> academic research echoed a similar sentiment, as it was able to use data collected from four nodes in just three days to locate over 15% of the validators in the Ethereum P2P Network.<\/p>\n<p>According to the report, its deanonymization technique was able to provide important information on validators, including their hosting organization and geographic information. Interestingly, the impact of these results was acknowledged by the Ethereum Foundation, as it awarded a bug bounty to the researchers.<\/p>\n<p>Vitalik\u2019s commendation follows his <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/VitalikButerin\/status\/1997279838252531823\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">earlier call<\/a> for a good trustless on-chain gas futures market, which he believes would help people hedge against future gas prices.
