Buterin reveals Coinbase has helped with Ethereum’s EIP-4844 in response to claims that CEOs of centralized exchanges do not care about crypto.

Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin revealed in a tweet on Thursday that Coinbase has assisted with EIP-4844.

For context, EIP-4844 is Ethereum’s proto-danksharding proposal. Its implementation will usher in a phase of improved Ethereum scalability by splitting the processing of transactions. EIP-4844 is currently under consideration to ship with the Shanghai upgrade, per a report from The Crypto Basic yesterday.

Buterin’s statements on Thursday came in response to Dialectic co-founder Dean Eigenmann asserting that CEOs of centralized exchanges do not care about decentralization. Notably, Eigenmann had laughed off comments from VivekVentures.eth asserting that Coinbase Chief Brian Armstrong cares. The discussion elicited a response from Buterin, who disclosed that Coinbase has been helpful.
