In September 2022, Ethereum transitioned from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS)
during'the merge'-making it the largest PoS cryptocurrency in terms of market capitalization …

On 15 September 2022, the Ethereum network adopted a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus
mechanism. We study the impact on the network and competing platforms in a two month …

With Ethereum's transition from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake in September 2022 came
another paradigm shift, the Proposer-Builder Separation (PBS) scheme. PBS was …

Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency valued at a peak of $138 billion in 2018, is a
decentralized, Turing-complete computing platform. Although the stability and security of …

This paper centers around a simple yet crucial question for everyday users: How should one
choose their delegated validators within proof-of-stake (PoS) protocols, particularly in the …

For proof-of-work blockchains such as Ethereum, the mining power decentralization is an
important discussion point in the community. Previous studies mostly focus on the …

Ethereum (ETH) is a popular Layer-1 blockchain platform that has been used to create
decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts. Ethereum 2.0, or Serenity, is a …

Blockchain relay schemes enable cross-chain state proofs without requiring trusted
intermediaries. This is achieved by applying the source blockchain's consensus validation …

The beacon chain is the backbone of the Ethereum's evolution towards a proof-of-stake-
based scalable network. Beacon clients are the applications implementing the services …

Recently, two attacks were presented against Proof-of-Stake (PoS) Ethereum: one where
short-range reorganizations of the underlying consensus chain are used to increase …
