Ethereum researchers submit 'Decoupled Consensus' EIP draft for Beacon Chain
- —Votes on the chain head and finality votes would be split into separate processes
- —Goals: post-quantum readiness, fork-choice security, faster finality
- —Co-authors include D’Amato, Saltini, Vonlanthen and Kalinin; EIP-8453 proposed
- —Edgington says many details remain open and the focus is on getting a number
Why it matters: The change touches Ethereum's core consensus and could speed finality while preparing the network for post-quantum security.
