Vitalik Buterin's Vision: Simplifying Ethereum
Ethereum Founder Vitalik Buterin Expresses Concern Over Complexity, Urges Simplification of Blockchain Network
In a recent blog post, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin shares his plan to streamline Ethereum (ETH). By taking inspiration from the simplicity of Bitcoin (BTC), Buterin envisions a more accessible, efficient, and less complex Ethereum within five years.
A Simplified Ethereum for All
Buterin argues that complexity in Ethereum has led to increased development costs, security risks, and a research culture that can often feel insular. He believes that a simpler protocol will make it easier for a wider range of people to participate in protocol research and development, ultimately reducing costs and the risk of catastrophic bugs.
Consensus and Execution Layer Simplification
Buterin plans to address the complexity issues in two layers:
- Consensus Layer: The new consensus effort aims to create a long-term optimal consensus layer for Ethereum. This updated consensus layer is well-positioned to be less complex than the current beacon chain.
- Execution Layer: Buterin hopes to simplify the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), addressing unnecessary complexity that has proven costly in terms of resources and development effort. He suggests transitioning to a newer, simpler VM for a 100x gain, similar to the Merge but with more significant improvements.
The Path to Simplicity
Having fewer, but more meaningful, points of disruption in the evolution of the Ethereum network is crucial. This approach will help maintain a lean, agile, and efficient blockchain platform that can drive growth and innovation.
