According to reports from Wu, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin published a piece (Simplifying the L1), calling for a significant simplification of the Ethereum protocol within the next five years. He suggested drawing on 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, shared protocol components, and suggested setting a maximum line of code limit to make the Ethereum core protocol closer to Bitcoin's simplicity and long-term resilience.
