Offchain Labs specifically cited the work of Prysmatic Labs in advancing Ethereum Improvement Proposal 4844 which will introduce ‘Proto-Danksharding’ and make it easier for rollups like Arbitrum to continue scaling as a motivator for the deal.
Ethereum ima borio se for years with the centralizing pressures induced by key pieces of infrastructure being owned by key entities, and with the effect that’s had on the governance and direction of Ethereum. The acquisition of the top layer 1 client by the top layer 2 protocol (according to L2Beat) will bring those issues to the forefront again.
Offchain Labs insists that Prysm will continue to be a “neutral Ethereum client” and emphasizes that it’s “excited to more deeply contribute to Ethereum’s core development.”
