According to @VitalikButerin, the Ethereum Foundation historically emphasized cryptoeconomics, BFT consensus, and blocks while underweighting the p2p networking layer (source: @VitalikButerin, X, Dec 8, 2025). According to @VitalikButerin, that gap has closed and PeerDAS is evidence of improved p2p capabilities on the ETH network (source: @VitalikButerin, X, Dec 8, 2025). According to @VitalikButerin, he credited @raulvk and others for contributing to PeerDAS and the networking work (source: @VitalikButerin, X, Dec 8, 2025).
