Ethereum team leader: PeerDAS upgrade goes against the decentralized spirit of Ethereum

Péter Szilágyi, head of the Ethereum core development team, recently issued a warning on social media that the upcoming PeerDAS upgrade could seriously threaten the decentralization of Ethereum. Szilágyi pointed out that PeerDAS plans to increase the blob size to 32MB, which will result in extremely high internet bandwidth requirements for block production, possibly 2.5Gbit/s. "This is actually killing the family pledger, which is not what I expected when I joined Ethereum," he said.
Szilágyi questions the motivation of the Ethereum research team, arguing that they "fully accept the idea of centralizing everything as long as it can be verified."
He called on the community to ask researchers about their specific vision for the next five years of Ethereum, including who will create blocks, store state, and what ordinary users can do without a third-party operator. Szilágyi stressed that if the final system cannot become a "global settlement layer" trusted by countries, then Ethereum has failed.
