Vitalik Buterin計劃將以太坊的氣體限制增加10-100倍，以支持高級可伸縮性

簡潔的實驗室的ZKVM演示給Buterin留下了深刻的印象，但仍需要改善能源使用和驗證。實時證明技術可以徹底改變第1層的性能

In a recent series of posts on X, Vitalik Buterin highlighted a major milestone reached by Succinct Labs, and also casually dropped a bit of a bombshell: the Ethereum core team is planning to increase the chain’s gas limit by 10-100x.

在最近在X上的一系列帖子中，Vitalik Buterin強調了一個簡潔的實驗室達到的一個重大里程碑，並且隨便掉下了一些重磅炸彈：以太坊核心團隊正計劃將鏈條的氣體限制增加10-100倍。

Now, why is this a big deal? Well, to put it simply, a higher gas limit has some interesting implications for the balance of power within Ethereum. It could also put paid to a key criticism leveled at the chain.

現在，為什麼這很重要？好吧，簡單地說，較高的氣體限制對以太坊內的功率平衡具有一些有趣的含義。它還可以將鏈條上的關鍵批評付諸實踐。

But first, let’s take a look at what Succinct Labs is working on.

但是首先，讓我們看一下簡潔的實驗室正在從事的工作。

Completing the journey of efficient real-time proofs

完成有效的實時證明旅程

Earlier this week, Buterin had nothing but praise for Uma Roy and her team at Succinct Labs as they completed the journey of efficient real-time proofs.

本週早些時候，Buterin對Uma Roy和她在簡潔的實驗室的團隊完成了有效的實時證明旅程時，什麼也沒有讚美。

“People often ask me what part of the blockchain space I’m most impressed by right now. My answer: the rapid improvement of STARKs/zk-rollups and the complete lack of people complaining about zk-rollups anymore,” Buterin said.

“人們經常問我，我現在最印象深刻的區塊鏈空間的哪一部分。我的回答是：鮮明/ZK滾動的快速改善，以及完全缺乏抱怨ZK滾動的人，” Buterin說。

He was referring to Succinct Labs’ SP1 Hypercube, a zkVM that can rapidly generate verifiable proofs of state for a large portion of Ethereum. In a post on Thursday, Buterin shared a video of the Hypercube in action, and noted that it can already efficiently prove 90% of Ethereum blocks in 12 seconds.

他指的是簡潔的實驗室的SP1 HyperCube，這是一種ZKVM，可以迅速為大部分以太坊生成可驗證的狀態證明。在周四的帖子中，布特林分享了一段有關HyperCube的視頻，並指出它已經可以在12秒內有效地證明90％的以太坊塊。

“The system is able to achieve this level of performance with a 64-core CPU and 10 kW of power usage, which is about the same power consumption as a small house or a large office,” Buterin said.

Buterin說：“該系統能夠通過64核CPU和10 kW的功率使用量達到這種水平，這與小房子或大型辦公室的功耗大致相同。”

He added that the system is able to rapidly generate proofs even in the presence of 6% Byzantine attackers, and that the system can be easily scaled up to handle more chains and a higher throughput.

他補充說，即使在有6％的拜占庭攻擊者的情況下，系統也能夠快速生成證據，並且可以輕鬆地擴展系統以處理更多的鏈條和更高的吞吐量。

“This is truly amazing. My only complaint is that I wish the system could be made even more power efficient, ideally reaching the 1-3 kW range, which would allow home users and smaller teams to run real-time proof systems.”

“這真是太神奇了。我唯一的抱怨是，我希望該系統能夠更加高效，理想地達到1-3 kW範圍，這將使家庭用戶和較小的團隊能夠運行實時證明系統。”

A 10-100x gas limit increase is coming to Ethereum

以太坊將增加10-100x氣體限制

In another post on Friday, Buterin disclosed that the Ethereum core devs are planning to increase the chain’s gas limit by 10-100x.

在周五的另一篇文章中，布特林透露，以太坊核心開發人員計劃將鏈的氣體限制增加10-100倍。

This move is being made to turbocharge the growth of optimistic and zk-rollups, as it would lower the economic and technical barriers for validators to participate in securing multiple chains.

這一舉動正在為渦輪增壓造成樂觀和ZK滾動的增長，因為它將降低驗證者參與確保多個鏈條的經濟和技術障礙。

A higher gas limit would also decrease the relative weight of minimal processing overhead in setting the gas limit, and thereby reduce the potential for censorship. Finally, it would create the gas space necessary to deploy more advanced cryptographic mechanisms on-chain, such as zk-based proofs.

較高的氣體限制還將減少設定氣體限制時最小處理開銷的相對重量，從而降低審查的潛力。最後，它將創建在鏈上部署更高級加密機制所需的氣體空間，例如基於ZK的證明。

“We are still working on the technical details of how to best implement this change, but I believe that it is a necessary step to ensure that Ethereum can continue to innovate and scale in the years to come,” Buterin said.

Buterin說：“我們仍在研究如何最好地實施這一變化的技術細節，但我認為這是確保以太坊在未來幾年中繼續進行創新和擴展的必要步驟。”

The gas limit is a critical parameter that determines the amount of computational work that can be performed within a single Ethereum block. Currently, the gas limit is set relatively low, which imposes limitations on the complexity and expressiveness of smart contracts that can be deployed on the chain.

氣體極限是一個關鍵參數，它決定了可以在單個以太坊塊中執行的計算工作量。目前，氣體限制設置為較低，這對可以在鏈條上部署的智能合約的複雜性和表現力施加了限制。

This has led to a situation where most advanced cryptographic and computational techniques are being deployed on Layer 2s, while Layer 1 is largely limited to simple token transfers and other low-level operations.

這導致了一種情況，即大多數高級加密技術和計算技術都在第2層上部署，而第1層很大程度上僅限於簡單的令牌轉移和其他低級操作。

A higher gas limit would allow for a richer and more varied computational landscape on Layer 1, Buterin said.

Buterin說，較高的氣體限制將允許在第1層上更豐富，更多樣化的計算景觀。

“We could finally have sufficiently advanced cryptographic operations on-chain to enable advanced use cases such as atomic cross-chain swaps and programmable tokens in a way that is both efficient and secure.”

“我們最終可以在鏈上進行足夠高級的加密操作，以使高級用例，例如原子跨鏈掉期和可編程令牌，以既高效又安全的方式。”

He added that this would also open up new possibilities for hybrid optimistic-zk-rollups, which combine the advantages of both paradigms.

他補充說，這還將為混合樂觀的ZK滾動提供新的可能性，從而結合了這兩個範式的優勢。

“We could also see the emergence of new and unexpected use cases that we haven’t even thought of yet.”

“我們還可以看到我們甚至還沒有想到的新的和意外的用例的出現。”
