Vitalik recently discussed a pretty interesting topic—occasionally dropping off the chain or experiencing confirmation delays by a few hours on Ethereum is really no big deal.

His logic is straightforward: although the "loss of finality" in the network sounds alarming, as long as incorrect blocks are not ultimately confirmed, delays are just delays. This is not just talking empty; previously, a vulnerability was exposed in the Prysm client that almost caused the finality mechanism of Ethereum to collapse. In the end, it was just a false alarm.

Basically, it's better to be slow than to act recklessly. After all, the core of the consensus mechanism isn't speed but accuracy. A researcher named Fabrizio Romano Genovese from Oxford is also following this matter, indicating that the academic community is paying attention to this area.

Discussions on technical fault tolerance and security boundaries are likely to continue fermenting.
