While the reduced reliance on Geth is good news, “we can’t declare victory yet,” says Lachlan Feeney, founder and CEO of Ethereum infrastructure firm Labrys.
Geth’s concentrated use is a risk as the majority of Ethereum validators could lose their staked Ether if it has a critical bug, claims one Ethereum diversity advocate.
Several Ethereum users took the recent “critical” bug incident as a clear example of the need for client diversity, which is currently skewed toward Geth.
