V God: Ethereum's occasional "loss of finality" is not serious; the key is this
【ChainNews】V God recently issued a statement regarding Ethereum's "loss of finality": it's not that serious; what’s really dangerous is "incorrect finalization"— that is, treating wrong data as final and fixed.
This time, the issue was caused by a glitch in the Prysm client, which led to slower finality confirmations. But the chain itself is still running, and transactions are being processed as usual; there was no stoppage.
Ethereum expert Fabrizio Romano Genovese explained it clearly: when finality temporarily fails, Ethereum becomes similar to Bitcoin—that is, it shifts to a probabilistic confirmation mechanism. Under normal circumstances, Ethereum’s rules are as follows: a block is considered "Justified" when it receives over 66% of validator votes, and after two epochs (roughly 64 blocks), it becomes "Finalized."
To be honest, this isn’t the first time it has happened. A similar incident occurred in May 2023.
Polygon also reminded users that cross-chain and L2-related transfers need to wait for finality confirmation; deposits might be slightly delayed, but there’s no need to worry about rollbacks or message loss. Overall, the impact is manageable.
