以太坊聯合創始人Vitalik Buterin要求簡化協議

在對協議長期路線圖的重大更新中，以太坊聯合創始人Vitalik Buterin呼籲簡化ETH的基本協議

In a significant update to the protocol’s long-term roadmap, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has called for the simplification of ETH’s base protocol to make the network more efficient and resilient.

在對協議長期路線圖的重大更新中，以太坊聯合創始人Vitalik Buterin呼籲簡化ETH的基本協議，以使網絡更有效和彈性。

How Can Ethereum Achieve Protocol Simplicity?

以太坊如何實現協議簡單性？

In a May 3rd blog post titled "Simplifying the L1," Buterin shared his perspective on the need to simplify the Ethereum network, stating that simplicity is an important—but easy to undervalue—aspect of scalability and resilience.

在5月3日的博客文章中，標題為“簡化L1”，Buterin分享了他對簡化以太坊網絡的需求的看法，並指出簡單性是一個重要的（但易於低估），這是對可擴展性和彈性的看法。

The crypto founder went on to applaud how beautifully simple the Bitcoin blockchain is.

Crypto創始人繼續為比特幣區塊鏈的簡單簡單而鼓掌。

Buterin said:

布特林說：

"Even a smart high school student is capable of fully wrapping their head around and understanding the Bitcoin protocol. A programmer is capable of writing a client as a hobby project."

“即使是聰明的高中生也能夠完全纏繞著自己的頭並了解比特幣協議。程序員能夠將客戶作為一個愛好項目寫作。”

According to Buterin, protocol simplicity offers a variety of benefits that are crucial to ensuring that blockchain networks, like Bitcoin and Ethereum, remain credibly neutral and globally trusted base layer. Meanwhile, it also reduces infrastructure costs, long-term maintenance expenses, and risks of bugs and malicious attacks.

根據Buterin的說法，協議簡單性提供了各種好處，這些好處對於確保比特幣和以太坊等區塊鍊網絡仍然保持中立和全球信任的基礎層。同時，它還降低了基礎設施成本，長期維護費用以及蟲子和惡意攻擊的風險。

In the blog post, Buterin also described how the Ethereum network can become close to as simple as Bitcoin in five years. According to the co-founder, one of the three ways of achieving this simplicity is through a more optimal consensus layer, with most notably a 3-slot finality redesign.

在博客文章中，布特林還描述了以太坊網絡如何在五年內變得像比特幣一樣簡單。根據聯合創始人的說法，實現這種簡單性的三種方法之一是通過更具最佳的共識層，最著名的是3插槽最終的重新設計。

Furthermore, Buterin mentioned the simplification of the execution layer, complaining about how the complexity of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) has unnecessarily increased. To fix this, the crypto co-founder proposed replacing the EVM with a new minimal virtual machine (like RISC-V).

此外，Buterin提到了執行層的簡化，並抱怨以太坊虛擬機（EVM）的複雜性如何不必要地增加。為了解決此問題，加密聯合創始人提議用新的最小虛擬機（例如RISC-V）代替EVM。

The co-founder noted:

聯合創始人指出：

"The biggest challenge with meaningfully simplifying (or even improving without complexifying) any part of the EVM is how to balance accomplishing the desired goals with preserving backwards compatibility for existing applications."

“有意義地簡化（甚至不使復雜化的情況）進行有意義的挑戰，EVM的任何部分是如何平衡實現所需目標與為現有應用程序的向後兼容。”

Finally, Buterin outlined that the third and "most easily underrated" way of enhancing protocol simplicity is to share one standard across different parts of the protocol. "There is typically very little or no benefit to using different protocols to do the same thing in different places," the Ethereum co-founder said.

最後，Buterin概述了增強協議簡單性的第三種也是“最容易被低估”的方法是在協議的不同部分共享一個標準。以太坊聯合創始人說：“使用不同的協議在不同地方做同樣的事情通常幾乎沒有好處。”

Buterin concluded that simplicity is extremely similar to decentralization, which are both requisite in achieving resilience in blockchains.

Buterin得出的結論是，簡單性與權力下放非常相似，這在實現區塊鏈中的彈性方面都是必需的。

Ethereum Price Overview

以太坊價格概述

While Buterin will be looking to make adjustments to the Ethereum network, ETH investors will hope that these enhancements will translate to the value of the Ether token. ETH's performance has been quite underwhelming so far in 2025, registering four red months to start the year.

儘管Buterin將尋求對以太坊網絡進行調整，但ETH投資者將希望這些增強能力將轉化為以太代幣的價值。到目前為止，ETH的表現在2025年一直令人不知所措，年開始了四個月。

As of this writing, the price of Ether stands around $1,817, reflecting a 1.6% decline in the past 24 hours. It is worth mentioning that the Ethereum price has enjoyed some bullish momentum in the past two weeks, with its value increasing by nearly 15% in that period.

截至撰寫本文時，以太的價格約為1,817美元，反映了過去24小時內下降1.6％。值得一提的是，以太坊價格在過去兩周中享有一些看漲的動力，在那個時期，其價值增長了近15％。
