Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has acknowledged significant improvements in the Ethereum Foundation's approach to peer-to-peer (P2P) networking. Previously critical of the foundation's focus on cryptoeconomics and consensus mechanisms over network layers, Buterin now highlights the success of PeerDAS as evidence of change. He commended foundation members, including @raulvk, for their "heroic contributions" in advancing PeerDAS, which aims to enhance network speed, resilience, and privacy. Buterin expressed optimism for future developments in this area.
