Coinbase is conducting updated technical assessments on alternative Ethereum execution clients as the ecosystem’s Go.Ethereum client reliance attracts community concerns.
Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase is working to add another Ethereum execution client to its infrastructure as critics continue to sound the alarm over Geth dominance across the ecosystem.
A post on X (formerly Twitter) published on Jan. 22 drew attention to the exchange’s renewed efforts to move away from its total dependence on go-ethereum, or Geth. As the thread details, Coinbase Cloud found that Geth was the only Ethereum execution client that met its technical requirements when it launched Ethereum staking.
“I can't ignore the risks of what appears to be a single client staking setup (reliant on geth) at this time. If I have misinterpreted your architecture, please use this post as an opportunity to clarify it,” Hossain wrote.
