以太坊联合创始人维塔克·布特林（Vitalik Buterin）呼吁重置一个新的建议，概述了从现在起五年后，“以太坊可以变得像比特币一样简单。”

坚持简化协议，Buterin的博客于2025年5月3日发布 - 简化了L1说：“关于比特币的最好的事情之一就是协议的简单非常简单。”

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has called for a reset as he introduced a new proposal outlining how in five years from now, "Ethereum can become close to as simple as Bitcoin."

以太坊联合创始人Vitalik Buterin呼吁重置一个新的建议，概述了从现在起五年后，“以太坊可以像比特币一样简单。”

Highlighting that "one of the best things about Bitcoin is how beautifully simple the protocol is," Buterin’s post on simplifying the protocol, Simplifying the L1 was published on 3 May 2025.

Buterin关于简化协议的帖子，强调“关于比特币最好的事情之一是协议的简单性”，简化了L1，于2025年5月3日发布。

"Keeping the protocol simple brings a number of benefits that are key to Bitcoin or Ethereum being a credibly neutral and globally trusted base layer," the post said.

该帖子说：“保持协议简单带来了许多好处，这些好处是比特币或以太坊是一个非常中立且受信任的基础层的关键。”

According to the Ethereum co-founder, "Caring about simplicity is, like decentralization, a short-term cost for the sake of benefits that do not appear immediately. But in the long term, it will be useful."

根据以太坊联合创始人的说法，“关心简单性就像权力下放一样，是出于不立即出现的利益的短期成本。但是，从长远来看，这将是有用的。”

"People care about simplicity, like decentralization, is a short-term cost for the sake of benefits that do not appear immediately. But in the long term, it will be useful. Let's make each part of the ethereum spec a place where things like this can happen:https://t.co/1yIiWfAbH8"

“人们关心简单性，例如权力下放，是出于不立即出现的好处的短期成本。但是，从长远来看，这将是有用的。让我们使以太坊的每个部分都可以发生这样的地方：https：//t.co/1yiiiiwfabh8“

suggesting that if Ethereum hopes to remain the backbone of decentralized finance and the next generation of internet applications, it must return to its roots and embrace radical simplicity.

表明，如果以太坊希望仍然是分散财务和下一代互联网应用程序的骨干，则必须恢复其根源并具有根本的简单性。

He warned that "Ethereum has lost sight of simplicity, attempting to do too much while piling on technical debt," he warns. Buterin thus advocated for a major reset. He pointed to Bitcoin’s “beautifully simple protocol” as a model, noting that even a smart high school student can understand Bitcoin’s core mechanics, while Ethereum’s complexity now requires deep expertise and specialized teams to manage and audit.

他警告说：“以太坊看不见简单性，试图在堆积技术债务时做太多事情。”因此，Buterin提倡重置。他指出，比特币的“精美简单协议”是一个模型，指出即使是聪明的高中生也可以理解比特币的核心机制，而以太坊的复杂性现在需要深厚的专业知识和专业团队来管理和审核。

Buterin’s message is clear – if Ethereum is to remain the backbone of decentralized finance and the next generation of internet applications, it must return to its roots and embrace radical simplicity.

Buterin的信息很明确 - 如果以太坊要保持分散融资和下一代Internet应用程序的骨干，则必须恢复其根源并拥抱根本的简单性。

The Ethereum co-founder and Buterin highlighted that the EVM, Ethereum’s execution engine, has become bloated and difficult to optimize. He proposes replacing it with RISC-V, a minimalist virtual machine already proven in zero-knowledge cryptography projects.

以太坊联合创始人和Buterin强调，EVM，以太坊的执行引擎已经变得肿，很难优化。他建议用RISC-V代替它，RISC-V是一种极简主义的虚拟机，在零知识的加密项目中已经证明了这一点。

"I suggested we replace the EVM with either RISC-V, or another VM that is the VM that Ethereum ZK-provers will be written in," wrote Buterin.

Buterin写道：“我建议我们用RISC-V或其他VM代替EVM，这是Ethereum Zk-Provers将写入的VM。”

Buterin also called for merging redundant tools and adopting more efficient cryptographic methods, such as unified erasure coding and binary Merkle trees. He envisions a streamlined ecosystem where common components are shared and best practices are applied consistently.

Buterin还呼吁合并冗余工具并采用更有效的加密方法，例如统一的擦除编码和二进制Merkle树。他设想了一个简化的生态系统，共享共同的组件并始终如一地应用最佳实践。

"If we can get to a place where the optimal implementations of erasure coding and Merkle trees are used in
