ChainCatcher report: According to GitHub information, a core protocol draft titled "Decoupled Consensus" has appeared in the Ethereum EIP repository, proposing to separate beacon chain head voting from finality proof voting to enhance fork choice security, reduce finalization time, and lay the groundwork for a future transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQ). The proposal was authored by Francesco D'Amato, Roberto Saltini, Yann Vonlanthen, Mikhail Kalinin, and Ben Edgington, among others, and remains in an early draft stage with several details still undecided; the submitters are currently seeking an EIP number. The proposal is pending further review and has not yet been merged.
Ethereum Proposes 'Decoupled Consensus' Draft to Enhance Finality and Security
ChaincatcherShare
Summary
Ethereum has submitted a draft proposal for a new consensus mechanism called "Decoupled Consensus" in the EIP repository. The design aims to separate head voting from finality voting on the beacon chain, enhancing fork choice security and finality speed. The team also plans to support a future transition to post-quantum cryptography. Authors include Francesco D'Amato, Roberto Saltini, Yann Vonlanthen, Mikhail Kalinin, and Ben Edgington. The draft is in early stages, with key details still unresolved. Submitters are currently seeking an EIP number for formal tracking. The proposal may provide a more robust alternative to traditional Nakamoto consensus models.
