Coinbase 通过 Nethermind 转型使以太坊执行客户端环境多样化

为了增强以太坊的稳定性，Coinbase 已将一半的以太坊验证器转移到 Nethermind 软件，减少对 Geth 的依赖。此举旨在使执行客户端多样化，并降低灾难性错误或漏洞利用的风险。 Coinbase 的转型标志着在以太坊生态系统中培育更加多元化的客户格局的努力中的一个里程碑。

Coinbase Transitions Ethereum Validators to Diversify Execution Client Landscape

Coinbase 转变以太坊验证器以实现执行客户端环境多元化

In a strategic move to safeguard the stability and security of the Ethereum blockchain, cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has successfully migrated half of its Ethereum validators to alternative software provided by Nethermind.

为了保障以太坊区块链的稳定性和安全性，加密货币交易所 Coinbase 已成功将一半的以太坊验证器迁移到 Nethermind 提供的替代软件，这是一项战略举措。

The move marks a significant milestone in the ongoing effort to diversify the Ethereum ecosystem's execution client landscape. Previously, Coinbase had relied exclusively on Geth, the dominant execution client in the market.

此举标志着以太坊生态系统执行客户端环境多元化的持续努力的一个重要里程碑。此前，Coinbase 完全依赖市场上占主导地位的执行客户端 Geth。

The decision to diversify was driven by concerns that an overwhelming reliance on Geth could pose a systemic risk to Ethereum. If more than two-thirds of validators were to utilize Geth and it experienced a critical bug or exploit, it could lead to a chain split with potentially disastrous consequences, including financial losses and community fragmentation.

做出多元化的决定是因为担心过度依赖 Geth 可能会给以太坊带来系统性风险。如果超过三分之二的验证者使用 Geth 并且它遇到了严重的错误或漏洞，则可能会导致链分裂，从而带来潜在的灾难性后果，包括财务损失和社区分裂。

Industry experts have emphasized the importance of continued efforts to diversify execution clients to mitigate these risks. According to Jasper, a pseudonymous contributor to liquid staking protocol Rocket Pool, "While Coinbase is probably the largest single node operator on the network, and it's a huge victory, it's not enough."

行业专家强调了继续努力使执行客户多样化以减轻这些风险的重要性。流动质押协议 Rocket Pool 的匿名贡献者 Jasper 表示，“虽然 Coinbase 可能是网络上最大的单节点运营商，而且这是一个巨大的胜利，但这还不够。”

Recent data suggests that Geth's market share has decreased slightly, with estimates indicating that it now controls just under two-thirds of the execution client market. However, uncertainties persist regarding the accuracy of available data and the actual distribution of execution clients among validators.

最近的数据表明，Geth 的市场份额略有下降，估计它现在控制着不到三分之二的执行客户端市场。然而，可用数据的准确性以及验证者之间执行客户端的实际分布仍然存在不确定性。

Coinbase's commitment to diversification had been previously signaled in February, with plans to further adopt Erigon software in the near future. The exchange's proactive stance has been hailed by industry observers as a positive step towards enhancing the resilience of the Ethereum ecosystem.

Coinbase 此前已于 2 月份表示了对多元化的承诺，并计划在不久的将来进一步采用 Erigon 软件。该交易所的积极立场被行业观察家称赞为增强以太坊生态系统弹性的积极一步。

Despite the progress made by Coinbase, the full impact of the transition on the Ethereum network remains uncertain. Continued efforts to diversify execution clients and improve data transparency are crucial to mitigating potential vulnerabilities and ensuring the long-term stability of the blockchain.

尽管 Coinbase 取得了进展，但过渡对以太坊网络的全面影响仍然不确定。持续努力使执行客户端多样化并提高数据透明度对于减少潜在漏洞和确保区块链的长期稳定性至关重要。
