Vitalik Buterin Suggests Adjusting Rewards to Support Decentralized Staking

According to BlockBeats, on March 27th, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposed in a Warpcast discussion that rewards could be adjusted to support decentralized staking. He questioned whether validators within the same cluster, such as the same trading platform or user, are more likely to miss proofs simultaneously than unrelated validators. If so, he suggested that rewards could be adjusted to encourage decentralized staking. In a post titled 'Supporting Decentralized Staking Through More Anti-Correlation Incentives,' Buterin explained that a strategy for incentivizing better decentralization in protocols is to punish correlation. This means that if a participant makes a mistake, including accidental situations, the punishment they receive will increase with the number of other participants who make mistakes at the same time, measured in total ETH. This technology has already been applied in Ethereum's penalty mechanism. However, Buterin pointed out that edge cases that may never occur in practice might not be sufficiently incentivized to decentralize. He proposed extending similar anti-correlation incentives to more 'ordinary' failure cases, such as missing a proof, which almost all validators will occasionally experience.
