Vitalik's Explanation on 51% Attacks Speaking at the EthCC conference in Brussels, Vitalik Buterin emphasized that the Ethereum network needs to be better prepared for 51% attacks and suggested more research and restructuring. He proposed developing a response that allows honest validators to automatically fork the blockchain. However, he acknowledged that achieving 100% automated network forking is impossible. On a technical level, he emphasized the need for a clear soft fork winner to enable the community to unite when necessary. Additionally, he advocated for increasing the adoption of light clients at the Ethereum infrastructure layer and addressing unresolved issues like quantum resistance. He also encouraged further simplification of the protocol.
