Earlier, Ethereum developers пландаштырылган to launch 64 shards, which require roughly 8.4 million Ether (ETH) to be staked in Eth2. However, there are already nearly 13.8 million ETH staked by now, so the number of initial shards could potentially be even higher than that.
The transition to PoS has also raised node centralization concerns, especially in the wake of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) jurisdiction claims over ETH, since nearly 43% of nodes are clustered in the U.S. Hiesboeck said that the SEC’s assertions over Ethereum are misguided. He argued that the concentration of nodes can change overnight and explained:
“Ethereum nodes can pop up anywhere in the world, and while around nearly 43% of them are indeed борборлошкон in the U.S. right now (the second-biggest country being Germany with 11.8%), this can change at a moment’s notice.”
Hiesboeck concluded by saying that the Ethereum developer community has a proven track record and has already demonstrated its resilience in the past so that anything can be solved, given time.
