Cardano Community Upset Over Vitalik Buterin’s Latest Involvement

The Latest Blog Post from Vitalik Buterin Sparks Interest in Plasma, a Blockchain Scalability Solution

In a recent post on his blog, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has once again captured the attention of the blockchain community with a focus on Plasma, a scalability solution first introduced in 2017. This resurgence is attributed to technological advancements, particularly in the realm of ZK-SNARKs – a form of encryption that enhances security and efficiency.

The Return of Plasma?

Plasma, initially set aside in favor of sharding technology, faced challenges in data storage from the client side and adaptability. Buterin’s new proposal suggests the potential overcoming of these constraints, making Plasma a practical solution once again.

Buterin explains how proofs of validity, specifically ZK-SNARKs, can simplify the Plasma framework. These proofs ensure the validity of each block in the Plasma chain, reducing the need for users to download them and allowing for potential instant withdrawal operations in certain cases.

Expanding this technology to encompass the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) using a parallel UTXO graph for ETH and ERC20 tokens simplifies complexities associated with account-based systems. This approach could enhance user experience and security on the Ethereum blockchain.

Reservations and Accusations
However, the Ethereum community’s new direction has raised concerns within the Cardano community. Members accuse Ethereum of echoing ideas from Cardano’s Hydra, a layer-two scalability solution, to increase transaction speed and expandability using state channels, a concept similar to Plasma.

Prominent figures in the Cardano community, including its founder Charles Hoskinson, have expressed these sentiments in their posts.
