Ethereum encourages researchers to participate in the Poseidon program, because Poseidon hash is friendly to zk-prover and studies its security attributes, which can bring many benefits to promote the development of Ethereum.

Optimize zk - prover friendly
Ethereum has been committed to improving performance and privacy protection, and zk-prover plays a key role in it. Poseidon hash is better friendly to zk-prover, can reduce the time and cost of proof generation and improve efficiency. This is an important factor in Ethereum's consideration of migration, so in-depth research is needed.
Ensure network security and stability
The security of hashing algorithms is related to the security of the Ethereum network. Although Poseidon hash has its own advantages, it still needs to be studied in-depth. More researchers can participate in a comprehensive analysis of their security vulnerabilities, prevent potential attacks in advance, and ensure the stable operation of the Ethereum network.
Promote the advancement of blockchain technology
As an emerging technology, the research on its research will help expand the boundaries of blockchain technology. The participation of researchers can bring new ideas and new methods. During the analysis process, new application directions of hash algorithms may be discovered and the development of the entire blockchain field can be promoted.
Adapt to future development needs
As blockchain application scenarios continue to expand, technical performance and security requirements are higher. The migration of Ethereum to Poseidon hash is an early layout of future trends. Researchers' participation can provide technical support for Ethereum to gain an advantage in future competition.
Explore potential value
Research on security properties of Poseidon hash may lead to unexpected results. For example, discovering more efficient encryption methods, or new breakthroughs in cross-chain communications, smart contract security, etc., these potential values attract Ethereum to encourage researchers to participate.
Integrated resource advantages
Researchers come from different fields and have different knowledge backgrounds and research experiences. Encourage them to participate in the Poseidon program, which can integrate resources from all parties and form a strong research synergy, analyze Poseidon hash from multiple angles and all aspects, and speed up the research process.
Establish a technical ecology
When many researchers participate in the Poseidon program, an active technology ecosystem will be formed around the technology. Everyone can communicate, cooperate and compete in it, and continuously improve Poseidon hashing technology, attract more developers and projects to join, and inject vitality into the development of Ethereum.
