According to reports by Wu, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin published an article (Simplifying the L1), calling for a significant simplification of the Ethereum protocol over 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 focusing on areas such as the consensus layer, execution layer, virtual machine compatibility strategies, and shared protocol components, and recommended setting a maximum limit on the number of lines of code, making the core Ethereum protocol closer to Bitcoin's simplicity and long-term resilience.
