ChainCatcher news, according to Blockworks, Anza has proposed two proposals to implement a slashing mechanism in the network, primarily targeting the so-called "duplicate blocks" to penalize validators, which refers to the situation where the same block is created twice. Anza has not yet decided on the specific economic details of the penalty mechanism, but the author of SIMD suggested destroying (or functionally abolishing) the staked tokens that are penalized.Anza's Ashwin Sekar also proposed a parabolic penalty curve: if 5% of a validator's staked tokens are in violation, then 1% of their staked tokens will be destroyed; if 33% of the staked tokens are in violation, then all staked tokens will be penalized. Sekar explained in a validator discussion session that Ethereum's penalty curve is linear. Sekar also stated that the penalty proposal is still in its early stages, and such updates are not expected to be released until the summer of 2025 at the earliest.

The general consensus is that Solana is cheap/simple/fun, while Ethereum is slow/clunky/expensive.But look at what's happening in the AI agent space. Some of the most exciting 'fun' projects, like Clanker and Virtuals, are unfolding on Ethereum through Base. They feel like Solana projects, but that's not the case.If Ethereum can retain its institutional credentials while improving usability, then 2025 could indeed be a great year. This is the Layer2 network thesis playing out in real time."
