Vitalik Buterin pushes for Ethereum to respond to 51% attacks in a more automated way

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin argues the network should be more prepared to pivot in the case that the network gets controlled by a bad actor.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin is advocating for the Ethereum network to be more prepared for the hypothetical case of censorship under a 51% attack.

Buterin was considering the notion of a 51% attack, a state where more Ethereum blocks are being produced by a malicious actor than by honest actors. He argued that one of the biggest concerns is that this could result in censorship on the network. However, Buterin argued that it would be better if the network was more prepared for such a response. He said that it would be good for this response to be largely automated and planned out in advance.

Buterin acknowledged that it would be impossible to get 100% of the network to automatically move to a fork as there are a lot of limitations. But he said: “The closer you can get to this, then the more we get to a situation where the amount of effort that social consensus needs to do is much lower.”
