According to reports from Wu, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin published an article (Simplifying the L1), calling for a significant simplification of the Ethereum protocol within the next five years. He suggested drawing inspiration from Bitcoin's minimalist design to reduce the development costs and security risks associated with complexity. Vitalik proposed starting from the consensus layer, execution layer, virtual machine compatibility strategies, and shared protocol components, and recommended setting a maximum code line limit to make the core Ethereum protocol closer to Bitcoin's simplicity and long-term resilience.
