TechFlame News: Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on platform X, stating that occasionally losing finality is not a big issue, as finality is designed to ensure that blocks cannot be rolled back. If finality is occasionally delayed for a few hours due to a significant client error, as long as incorrect blocks are not finalized, the situation is acceptable, and the chain will continue to operate during this period. Dr. Fabrizio Romano Genovese, a computer science PhD, agrees with Vitalik Buterin’s view, noting that when finality is lost, Ethereum becomes more like Bitcoin. He explained that Ethereum’s finality mechanism works as follows: when a block receives votes from more than 66% of validators, it is "justified." If it then passes through two more epochs (64 blocks), the block is "finalized." A spokesperson for Polygon stated that the lack of finality affects infrastructure that relies on it, such as certain cross-chain or Layer2 bridges. However, Polygon will continue to operate normally, though transfers from Ethereum to sidechains may be delayed until finality is restored. AggLayer will also delay transactions from Ethereum to L2 until finality is achieved again.
