Vitalik

最近以太坊圈子很是热闹：一边V神（Vitalik Buterin）抛出“五年简化计划”，要用RISC-V新架构和“三槽终结性”模型给以太坊做减法；另一边，美国刚批准了以太坊现货ETF，华尔街开始拥抱ETH；同时各路Layer2项目厮杀混战，生态一片繁忙。唱衰以太坊的论调也趁势而起。然而在我看来，这些看似动荡的局面，恰恰是以太坊迈向“更强”路上的必经阶段。
技术改革：RISC-V与三槽终结
Vitalik计划让以太坊像比特币一样简单。他提出采用“三槽终结”共识模型，砍掉繁琐的epoch和委员会机制，仅用3个slot即可完成区块最终确定；同时以RISC-V架构替换EVM虚拟机，大幅提升执行效率并降低复杂性。为平滑过渡，旧合约将在链上EVM解释器中继续运行，类似苹果用Rosetta兼容老应用。这一系列“瘦身”操作展现了V神舍繁从简的决心，我对此举双手点赞。
Layer2混战：乱中有机
与此同时，大量Layer2扩容方案百花齐放，甚至有点乱：Arbitrum、Optimism此起彼伏，zkSync、StarkNet你追我赶，连Uniswap、Coinbase等巨头都下场打造自己的L2。结果资金和用户被分散，主网一度有种被“熊孩子”闹腾的感觉。唱衰者据此断言“以太坊不行了”，可事实恰恰相反：越多项目扎根以太坊扩展，越说明以太坊作为底层不可或缺。经过这场混战洗牌后，存活下来的优质Layer2终将反哺主网，为以太坊生态带来更低成本和更多用户。这种短暂的乱局，正是走向更成熟生态的阵痛之一。
ETF利好：甜头与代价
再看市场层面利好——以太坊现货ETF终于获批。这标志传统资金正式进场，以太坊获得前所未有的认可。但没有白吃的午餐：为换取监管放行，ETF方案中被迫剔除了质押收益等敏感设计。投资者买ETF更方便，却享受不到直接质押带来的收益，这算是付出的代价之一。机构资金的入场也伴随持仓集中、监管加强等隐忧。不过只要不伤及去中心化根基，这些代价换来的主流认可对以太坊长远发展仍是利好。
结语：蜕变前夜的以太坊
归根结底，无论是技术层面的自我革新，还是市场和生态的风起云涌，都在塑造一个更强大的以太坊。每当熊市来临，总有人唱衰以太坊，但它一次次浴火重生、愈发茁壮。这一次，我依然坚定地站在Vitalik这一边。让子弹先飞一会儿，以太坊终将用实力证明那些唱衰者是错的。
#Pectra升级 #ETH #Vitalik #Layer2 #ARB

Ethereum has raised its block gas limit from 30 million to 32 million units its first adjustment in three years and the first major change since shifting to proof-of-stake. Approved by just over half the validators, the update aims to boost the network’s capacity to process transactions per block, potentially easing congestion and reducing fees during peak times. Gas, which represents the computational effort required for processing transactions and smart contracts, now accommodates more operations per block. This move follows a similar 2021 adjustment that doubled the limit from 15 million to 30 million units. While the increased gas limit is anticipated to lower fees during high traffic periods, it also raises the operational costs for validators, who may need to invest in more robust hardware to handle the larger blocks and maintain network decentralization.
Alongside these changes, co-founder Vitalik Buterin outlined future scalability improvements, including the Pectra upgrade slated for March 2025. This upgrade will raise the blob target for Layer‑2 networks from 3 to 6, effectively doubling sidechain capacity and boosting transaction throughput amid growing competition and higher volumes. Buterin's announcement not only signals confidence in Ethereum's future scalability but also addresses the growing demand from developers for improved Layer‑2 solutions.
Ethereum’s token dynamics have also shifted. The total ETH supply has returned to pre‑Merge levels at about 120.5 million its highest since January 2023 and slightly above Merge‑day figures. Analysts link this rise partly to the Dencun upgrade, which modified the gas fee‑burning mechanism to better manage Layer‑2 data loads. After a period of declining supply following the Merge, adjustments introduced in March 2024 reversed the trend, marking a shift in the network’s inflationary dynamics. This change has sparked discussions among analysts about the long‑term economic implications for ETH, as increased supply may impact future valuation models.
Non‑technical developments have also emerged. Internal debates within the Ethereum Foundation hit the headlines when a proposal to replace executive director Aya Miyaguchi with former researcher Danny Ryan was dismissed by Buterin. The decision prompted the departure of key figures, including core developer Eric Conner, highlighting ongoing leadership tensions.
Market reactions have been mixed. Although the higher gas limit may improve transaction speeds and lower fees, Ethereum still lags behind Bitcoin. The ETH/BTC ratio dropped to 0.03 in January 2025 its lowest since 2021 and trader Peter Brandt noted that even a short‑term rebound in Ethereum's price would not change Bitcoin’s long‑term investment appeal. Investors are watching these shifts closely, as market sentiment fluctuates with both technical upgrades and broader crypto trends.
Currently, Ethereum trades around $2,828—a modest 1.6% increase in 24 hours, but a 12.8% decline over the past week. As Ethereum implements these upgrades and faces internal governance challenges, investors and developers will closely watch its scalability, token supply dynamics, and market competitiveness. This comprehensive approach reflects Ethereum’s ongoing efforts to balance technical innovation with network security and decentralization.
