 \section{Introduction}\label{sec:introduction}
 Ethereum is a decentralized blockchain platform that enables developers to build and deploy smart contracts and decentralized applications.
 It is the second-largest blockchain platform by market capitalization and has a large and active developer community.
-Currently working as a Proof-of-Stake protocol, it allocates block proposal opportunities to the ones in the community willing to stake their ether; also called validators.
+Currently working as a Proof-of-Stake protocol, block proposal opportunities are allocated to the community members willing to stake their ether on entities called validators.
 Though, previous work from Heimbach et al., confirmed by ourselves, shows that adversaries are able to gather validator IP addresses~\cite{heimbach2024deanonymizingethereumvalidatorsp2p,ouroldpaper}.
 These can be used to perform a Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack on the validators, threatening the liveness of the blockchain~\cite{EthereumAttackDefense2024,ouroldpaper}.
