CoinVoice has learned that Vitalik Buterin posted on the X platform stating that, compared to reducing latency, increasing bandwidth is safer and more reliable. With the help of PeerDAS and ZKP, Ethereum scalability can be improved by thousands of times, and this does not conflict with decentralization. Latency, however, is limited by physical laws and real-world environments, especially when supporting global home nodes, censorship resistance, and anonymity.
He pointed out that reducing latency to the 2–4 second range is a reasonable goal, while applications requiring higher real-time performance (such as AI-driven ones) will rely on L2 and localized extensions like “city chains.”
