以太坊將使用「EVM 物件格式」對關鍵程式設計標準進行全面改革

EOF 提案是一系列計劃中的變更，旨在更新無處不在的以太坊虛擬機（EVM）——在區塊鏈上執行智慧合約的程式設計環境，以及本身不斷發展的行業標準。

Ethereum developers are preparing for a hard fork that will introduce a new version of the EVM, aiming to make smart contracts more developer-friendly.

以太坊開發人員正在準備硬分叉，該分叉將引入新版本的 EVM，旨在使智慧合約對開發人員更加友善。

The Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) known as EVM Object Format (EOF) has been a subject of discussion among developers this year, with some expressing concerns about possible security risks.

被稱為 EVM 物件格式 (EOF) 的以太坊改進提案 (EIP) 一直是今年開發人員討論的主題，有些人對可能的安全風險表示擔憂。

The EOF proposal, which is set to be included in a major package of changes expected later this year or early next, aims to update the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) – the programming environment that executes smart contracts on the blockchain.

EOF 提案預計將包含在預計今年稍後或明年年初的一攬子重大變更中，旨在更新以太坊虛擬機（EVM）——在區塊鏈上執行智慧合約的程式設計環境。

Specifically, EOF would make smart contracts more developer friendly, especially for those building decentralized applications in Solidity or Vyper programming languages.

具體來說，EOF 將使智慧合約對開發人員更加友好，特別是對於使用 Solidity 或 Vyper 程式語言建立去中心化應用程式的人。

However, the series of changes are also incredibly delicate that can break existing smart contracts, so developers have added in a new version, allowing dapp builders to choose which version of the EVM to use when deploying their code.

然而，這一系列的變更也非常微妙，可能會破壞現有的智慧合約，因此開發人員添加了新版本，允許 dapp 建構者在部署程式碼時選擇使用哪個版本的 EVM。

“EOF will be the first major EVM related change in years,” said Parithosh Jayanthi, a core developer at the Ethereum Foundation, in a text message on Telegram to CoinDesk.

以太坊基金會核心開發人員 Parithosh Jayanthi 在 Telegram 上發給 CoinDesk 的短信中表示：“EOF 將是多年來與 EVM 相關的第一個重大變化。”

“It sets the stage for future upgrades to the EVM and showcases the base layers intent to continue to improving the EVM.”

“它為 EVM 的未來升級奠定了基礎，並展示了繼續改進 EVM 的基礎層意圖。”

As the first and largest smart-contract blockchain, Ethereum has defined the programming standard that many other blockchains have adopted.

作為第一個也是最大的智慧合約區塊鏈，以太坊定義了許多其他區塊鏈所採用的程式設計標準。

Other layer-1 blockchains have also found ways to be compatible with the EVM, recognizing how important this piece of technology is in the blockchain industry.

其他 Layer-1 區塊鏈也找到了與 EVM 相容的方法，認識到這項技術在區塊鏈產業中的重要性。

But developers are now looking to introduce a newer version of the EVM, so they can write more secure smart contracts and dapps.

但開發人員現在正在尋求引入更新版本的 EVM，以便他們可以編寫更安全的智慧合約和 dapp。

With this, some developers have a few concerns that the procedure might create some unintended consequences for the network.

因此，一些開發人員擔心該過程可能會為網路帶來一些意想不到的後果。

Currently, the EOF component of the Pectra upgrade, Ethereum’s next hard fork, consists of 11 Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs).

目前，Pectra 升級（以太坊的下一個硬分叉）的 EOF 組件由 11 項以太坊改進提案（EIP）組成。

EOF proposals were suggested in the previous upgrade, Dencun, but when Ethereum developers wanted to be heads-down working on proto-danksharding – another crucial innovation that makes data storage on the blockchain cheaper and faster – they pushed EOF out and suggested to revisit it for Pectra.

Dencun 在先前的升級中提出了EOF 提案，但是當以太坊開發人員想要埋頭研究原始danksharding（另一項關鍵創新，使區塊鏈上的資料儲存更便宜、更快）時，他們推出了EOF並建議重新審視它對佩克特拉。

One notable critic of EOF was the core developer Marius Van Der Wijden.

EOF 的一位著名批評者是核心開發人員 Marius Van Der Wijden。

“The problem that I see is that now performing these operations, performing these verifications, these checks, is also part of the consensus," he told CoinDesk in an interview at the Ethereum Community Conference in Brussels.

「我看到的問題是，現在執行這些操作、執行這些驗證、這些檢查也是共識的一部分，」他在布魯塞爾以太坊社區會議上接受 CoinDesk 採訪時說道。

"That means if there's a bug in there, and we deploy something that passes our verification, but has a bug in it, then it will later on crash in a very unexpected way.”

「這意味著如果其中存在錯誤，並且我們部署了通過驗證的東西，但其中存在錯誤，那麼它稍後會以非常意想不到的方式崩潰。”

Van Der Wijden’s high-level concern with EOF is that “the big disadvantage that we will have is to maintain this EVM alongside the old one. Because the old one is not going to go anywhere, right? And everyone has sort of been making use of the old one.”

Van Der Wijden 對 EOF 的高度關注是「我們將面臨的一大缺點是將該 EVM 與舊 EVM 一起維護。因為舊的不會去任何地方，對嗎？每個人都在使用舊的。

Most of the core developers, however, say that EOF will bring benefits to the Ethereum ecosystem that outweigh the risks.

然而，大多數核心開發人員表示，EOF 將為以太坊生態系統帶來的好處大於風險。

“EOF is ready, implementations are complete, and downstream users such as Solidity are advocating for it,” Danno Ferrin, an independent contributor to the client team Besu, told CoinDesk in a message over Telegram.

「EOF 已經準備好，實施已經完成，Solidity 等下游用戶正在倡導它，」客戶團隊 Besu 的獨立貢獻者 Danno Ferrin 在 Telegram 上的一條消息中告訴 CoinDesk。

“When the feature is ready and done it's time to ship it or to permanently mothball it. EOF also fixes a large amount of technical debt the EVM has had since its inception,” Ferrin said.

「當該功能準備就緒並完成後，就該發布它或永久封存它了。 EOF 也修復了 EVM 自誕生以來所存在的大量技術債。
