Vitalik的以太坊簡化計劃：從“功能主義”到“極簡主義”

以太坊聯合創始人Vitalik Buterin在2025年提出了一個破壞性的長期計劃，以將以太坊的核心方案簡化為接近比特幣的級別。

In 2025, Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, proposed a surprising long-term plan to simplify the core protocol of Ethereum to a level close to Bitcoin's. This plan, spanning five years, aims to enhance resilience and decentralization by reducing protocol complexity, diverging from the current path of endless additions and expansions.

在2025年，以太坊聯合創始人Vitalik Buterin提出了一個令人驚訝的長期計劃，將以太坊的核心方案簡化為接近比特幣的水平。該計劃跨越了五年，旨在通過降低協議複雜性來增強韌性和分散性，這與當前無休止的添加和擴展路徑不同。

The core of this plan is to return to the essence of "minimalism" and ruthlessly eliminate anything that deviates from this principle. This includes streamlining the core protocol, reducing the scope of protocol developers, and focusing on building decentralized applications (DApps) on the upper layer.

該計劃的核心是重返“極簡主義”的本質，並無情地消除了任何偏離該原則的東西。這包括簡化核心協議，降低協議開發人員的範圍，並專注於在上層上構建分散應用程序（DAPP）。

This plan is a response to the three major crises that Ethereum's ecosystem has encountered in the past year.

該計劃是對以太坊生態系統在過去一年中遇到的三個重大危機的回應。

1. Game of Thrones: Where is the promised decentralization?

1。 《權力的遊戲：承諾的權力下放》在哪裡？

The core controllers of the top Layer2 (like Arbitrum) are still in the hands of the development team, and users are worried about the "restoration of centralization."

Top Layer2（如仲裁）的核心控制器仍掌握在開發團隊手中，用戶擔心“恢復集中化”。

2. External strong enemies siege

2。外部強敵人圍困

Solana attracts users with "second-level transactions," while TON grows wildly with Telegram's 900 million users. Ethereum's Layer2s are caught in homogeneous competition: issuing points and airdrops, but their functions are similar.

Solana通過“二級交易”吸引了用戶，而Te Telegram的9億用戶則瘋狂地增長。以太坊的第2層陷入了均勻的競爭中：發行要點和空投，但它們的功能相似。

3. Developers complain

3。開發人員抱怨

“Now making DApp is like opening a chain store - every Layer2 has to be renovated, the cost is too high!”

“現在製作Dapp就像開設一家連鎖店一樣 - 每個Layer2都必須翻新，成本太高了！”

After the SEC approved Ethereum ETF in May, it officially began trading in July, quickly attracting $9 billion in the first week.

SEC在5月批准Ethereum ETF之後，它於7月正式開始交易，在第一周很快吸引了90億美元。

However, institutional funds may prefer to flow into Layer 2 tokens and AI projects (like the rendering network RNDR), further exacerbating market differentiation.

但是，機構基金可能更喜歡流入第2層令牌和AI項目（例如渲染網絡RNDR），進一步加劇市場差異。

Moreover, due to regulations, ETFs cannot be pledged, which is equivalent to buying gold but not being able to deposit it in a bank to earn interest, diminishing its long-term appeal.

此外，由於法規，無法承諾ETF，這等同於購買黃金，但不能將其存入銀行以賺取利息，從而減少了其長期上訴。

Switching to the RISC-V architecture will require rewriting smart contracts. Old developers bluntly said: "What's the difference between this and learning a new language?"

切換到RISC-V架構將需要重寫智能合約。老開發人員直言不諱地說：“這與學習新語言有什麼區別？”

There is also a risk of community division. Some people believe that the existing ZK-Rollup technology is sufficient and there is no need to tamper with it.

也有社區分裂的風險。有些人認為現有的ZK滾動技術已經足夠，因此無需篡改它。

The user growth rate cannot keep up with the decline in gas fees, and the money earned by the DA layer (data storage) cannot support the ecosystem.

用戶增長率無法跟上汽油費的下降，而DA層（數據存儲）賺取的錢不能支持生態系統。

The envisioned "modular application explosion" has yet to be seen. Do you think Vitalik's five-year gamble will pay off?

所設想的“模塊化應用爆炸”尚未看到。您認為Vitalik的五年賭博會得到回報嗎？
