Ethereum researcher: Anti-correlation penalties can improve decentralization, the community should consider it in future updates

Ethereum researcher Toni Wahrstätter has released an analysis on "Correlated Attestation Penalties". The analysis provides a quick quantitative analysis of the impact on staking operators and CL clients, and mentions Vitalik Buterin's previous suggestions on anti-correlated incentives. The conclusion is that implementing anti-correlated penalties is a good way to counter economies of scale without the need for protocol differentiation between validators. Although this analysis focuses on staking operators and CL clients, there are still more attributes that need to be analyzed, including hardware settings, EL clients, geographic location, ISP providers, etc. Finally, anti-correlated penalties are a good way to improve decentralization, and the Ethereum community should definitely consider it in future updates. Vitalik Buterin expressed his approval of Wahrstätter's research on X platform and pointed out that Wahrstätter expanded on his own analysis of cross-validator correlation from last month and adjusted validator incentives to support decentralization.
