Londonske vilice vstopijo v testnet na Ethereumu, saj težavna bomba vidi zamudo

The Ethereum network witnessed the deployment of its London upgrade on the Ropsten testnet on June 24. This upgrade consists of the highly anticipated Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 1559. 

Following the launch on the Ropsten testnet, the London upgrade will be deployed on Ethereum’s Goerli, Rinkeby and Kovan testnets at weekly intervals. This is one of the important steps in the načrt to implement a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus on the Ethereum network, also known as Ethereum 2.0.

The London upgrade brings five EIPs that are going to be deployed on the testnets — EIP-1559, EIP-3198, EIP-3529, EIP-3541 and EIP-3554. The hotly debated EIP-1559 proposal is a transaction pricing mechanism that consists of a fixed per-block network fee that is burned and allows the dynamic expansion and contraction of block sizes to address the congestion issue.

Through this mechanism, there will be a discrete base fee for transactions that will be included in the next block. For applications and users who want to prioritize their transactions on the network, a tip called “priority fee” can be added to incentivize the miner for faster inclusion. While the miner pockets this tip, the base fee for the transaction is burned. This entails that until the transition to a PoS model is complete, in addition to the 2 Ether (ETH) per block that miners receive, they would also be receiving the tip for prioritizing transactions.

James Beck, direktor komunikacij in vsebin pri ConsenSys - tehnološkem podjetju blockchain, ki podpira infrastrukturo Ethereuma - je z Cointelegraphom razpravljal o vplivu kurjenja osnovnih pristojbin na omrežje:

»Sežiganje osnovne provizije bi moralo pritiskati na izdajo ETH, vendar natančno modeliranje, kako deflacijsko je težko, saj morate predvideti spremenljivke, kot so pričakovane transakcije, in še težje napovedati pričakovano prezasedenost omrežja. Teoretično, več transakcij se bo zgodilo, večji deflacijski pritisk bo imel sežig osnovne pristojbine na celotno ponudbo Ethereuma. "

Vendar pa je Marie Tatibouet, direktor trženja menjalnice kriptovalut Gate.io, za Cointelegraph spregovorila o možnosti, da bi ta sprememba provizij za transakcije negativno vplivala na omrežje. 

Opozorila je, da lahko rudarjem še vedno dajo napitnine in da večji kot je napitnina, hitrejša bo obdelava transakcije, in dodala: "Ko se omrežje povečuje in je Ethereum še naprej primarna platforma pametne pogodbe, to ne bo sprožilo drugega "vojna za pristojbine" med uporabniki, ki so pripravljeni doplačati za pospešitev svojih transakcij? "

Težavnost bombe zamuja

Another crucial part of this upgrade that impacts day-to-day users is the EIP-3554. This EIP delays the “difficulty bomb” to come into effect from the first week of December 2021. In essence, the difficulty bomb going off would mean that mining a new block would become extremely unfeasible and hard for a miner, thus enforcing the transition to the PoS Beacon Chain.

Kosala Hemachandra, ustanoviteljica in izvršna direktorica MyEtherWallet - platforme denarnice s sedežem v Ethereumu - je za Cointelegraph povedala, da je EIP prisoten že od ustanovitve Ethereuma, da bi zagotovil, da se omrežje pravočasno premakne na PoS in Eth2. Nadalje je dodal:

»Ta vrednost je odgovorna za to, da težave z blokom po določeni številki bloka postanejo eksponentno težke, kar rudarjem onemogoča rudarstvo novih blokov in se morajo preseliti v omrežje Eth2. Vendar pa je zaradi zamud pri razvoju tokratna bomba zamujala in na londonskem razcepu bo še zadnjič prestavljena. "

Uradni dokument za ta EIP navaja, da omrežje "cilja na nadgradnjo Šanghaja in / ali združitev pred decembrom 2021." Nadalje pa dodaja, da je bombo mogoče takrat prilagoditi ali jo popolnoma odstraniti, kar kaže, da prvi teden decembra ni težek rok za to bombo ali združitev in da bi se lahko odložila celo naprej od te točke naprej.

Tatibouet also mentioned that until Ethereum 1.0 merges with the PoS Beacon veriga — a mechanism to coordinate shards and stakers on the network — transaction speed solutions built on top of the existing network, or layer-two solutions, seem to be the most viable option. 

Nadalje je dodala: »Rešitvi sloja ena in plast dva ni treba izključno drug od drugega. To je razlog, zakaj Ethereum 2.0 za doseganje resnične razširljivosti uporablja kombinacijo enega sloja (ostrenje, PoS) in drugega sloja (zbirne). "

Coincidentally, according to datum from CryptoQuant, on the same day as the deployment of the upgrade on the Ropsten testnet, over 100,000 ETH was staked into the Eth2 deposit contract, which amounts to $210 million in notional value at the current ETH value of around $2,000. Such a high level of interest could be highly indicative of the anticipation that the Ethereum community has for this upgrade, especially due to the implications of the much-discussed EIP-1559.

Hemachandra je omenil tudi, kako ta predlog podpira rešitve drugega nivoja. Dodal je, "EIP-1559 je uvedel dinamično omejitev plina. V bistvu se zdaj število transakcij, ki jih je mogoče vključiti v blok, lahko dinamično prilagaja glede na zastoje. " Dodal je še: "Zato lahko zmanjša zastoje - to je še ena odlična rešitev na vrhu L2."

Vlog in posledice "združitve"

It’s important to note that after the additional 100,000 ETH was staked on the day of the deployment of the London upgrade on the testnet, the total proportion of ETH staked on the Beacon Chain surpassed 5% for the first time. The number of ETH staked currently stands at just over 6 million tokens with a value of $12.76 billion.

When compared to other PoS networks and coins, 5% of ETH staked isn’t a high proportion. For example, Cardano currently has nearly 72% of ADA staked on the network. However, there are a variety of reasons why this is the case. Hemachandra explained the core reason and why this is a positive indication for the network:

»V nasprotju z večino drugih kovancev PoS ves namen ETH ni le vložki in zaslužki obresti. To je dober znak, da se ETH uporablja kot pripomoček. Če je na primer vloženih 80% ETH, je v Ethereumu le še 20% ETH, da lahko kar koli storite, in mislim, da to ni idealen scenarij. "

Glede na datum from Anthony Sassano, co-founder of EthHub.io, 23% of all ETH mined is deposited in smart contracts. This proportion amounts to over 23.45 million ETH tokens valued almost at $50 billion. Out of the 23.45 million, over 6 million ETH is staked in the Eth2 deposit contract and 9 million ETH in various decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, as the network is the one most widely used for DeFi. 

Preostali ETH v pametnih pogodbah je razdeljen med različne zainteresirane strani, kot so Gemini, denarnica z več znaki Gnosis Safe, Polygon Bridge in hladna denarnica Vitalika Buterina. 

In the aftermath of “the merge,” which will combine both Ethereum 1.0 and Ethereum 2.0, marking the end of Ethereum’s proof-of-work consensus mechanism, ETH miners will be faced with a tough choice.

Ko njihova rudarska strojna oprema zastare, morajo bodisi prodati svoje ploščadi in se preusmeriti na ETH bodisi - vsaj za rudarje, ki uporabljajo grafične procesorje - na druge altcoine.

Analiza Justina Drakeja iz fundacije Ethereum ocenjuje, da se bo vsak dan izdalo 1,000 ETH, 6,000 ETH pa bo spalilo, da bo ETH bolj deflacijsko sredstvo. 

Njegova analiza je nadalje ugotovila, da bi ob predpostavki povečanja veljavnosti in obrestne mere 6.7%, letna sprememba ponudbe znašala negativnih 1.6 milijona ETH, s čimer bi se letna stopnja ponudbe zmanjšala za 1.4%. 

Ta prehod bi ETH naredil za deflacijsko sredstvo, pri čemer bi se stopnja ponudbe s časom zmanjševala, kar bi povzročilo pritisk na dinamiko ponudbe in povpraševanja, ki bi na trgu narekovala njegovo ceno.
