Lido, which accounts for over 20% of Ethereum staking, has finally introduced 0x02-type validators. Lido’s validators, previously split into 32 ETH units, have been consolidated into 2048 ETH units, potentially reducing the total number of Ethereum validators by over 200,000 (Lido’s estimated validators: 880,000 → 620,000). The greatest benefit this brings to the Ethereum mainnet is a significant reduction in signing overhead for consensus. With 260,000 fewer validators, the number of attestation messages (block votes) per epoch is estimated to decrease by approximately 29%. This is because the number of validators directly determines the number of signatures the network must aggregate and verify at every slot. This aggregation burden has long been a bottleneck for Ethereum’s efforts to reduce block times and implement single-slot finality. In fact, staked ETH continues to grow rapidly; had validators continued to be created in 32 ETH increments, this would have become an even larger problem. https://t.co/rX93h8ASAI

Review after one day of using GPT5.6 Sol Even when I’m not paying attention and doing other things, it goes ahead and does everything on its own. This might actually be helpful for vibe coding, but in professional development where scope is clearly defined, it seems like a drawback. If the goal is “do everything without being told,” then perhaps this is exactly what’s needed…

It is essential to precisely understand why quantum computing poses a threat to blockchain. As the quoted text rightly explains, other systems such as banks are equally vulnerable to quantum computing. However, new quantum-resistant algorithms are already being standardized, and centralized systems can simply replace their current algorithms when the time comes. Even if a hack occurs due to quantum computing, previous transactions can be reversed. In the case of Bitcoin, users must manually replace their private keys with new quantum-resistant keys. This means there is no solution for Satoshi’s wallet or any lost wallets. Should we freeze or burn all lost coins, including Satoshi’s? That would contradict Bitcoin’s core value—the principle that no one can interfere with another person’s assets. In fact, quantum computing powerful enough to target known addresses (e.g., Satoshi’s wallet) and crack them within days is not as far off as one might think (we must transition to quantum-resistant address systems no later than 2030).
