以太坊联合创始人Vitalik Buterin引起了网络日益复杂性的警报

以太坊的联合创始人Vitalik Buterin再次引起网络日益复杂性的警报。

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin is once again sounding the alarm on the network’s increasing complexity. In his latest reflections, Buterin has laid out a fresh proposal urging the Ethereum community to make node operation easier for everyday users.

以太坊联合创始人Vitalik Buterin再次在网络增加的复杂性上发出警报。在他的最新思考中，布特林提出了一个新的建议，敦促以太坊社区使日常用户更容易节点操作。

Most users today connect to Ethereum through external RPC (Remote Procedure Call) services provided by large firms. While convenient, this approach could undermine the core principles of decentralization and privacy.

当今大多数用户通过大型公司提供的外部RPC（远程过程调用）服务连接到以太坊。尽管方便，这种方法可能会破坏权力下放和隐私的核心原则。

According to Buterin, these centralized services could be pressured to block users, censor certain transactions, or become targets of surveillance. He also notes that relying on third-party access points makes it harder for ordinary people to run their own local nodes—a challenge Buterin now seeks to solve through a decisive decentralization plan.

根据Buterin的说法，这些集中式服务可能会被迫阻止用户，审查某些交易或成为监视的目标。他还指出，依靠第三方访问点使普通百姓很难运行自己的本地节点，这是挑战Buterin寻求通过决定性的分散计划来解决的。

Running a local node gives users direct, private access to Ethereum. They can interact with decentralized applications and verify blockchain activity independently. But as Ethereum’s size balloons, running a full node has become too demanding for the average user, both in terms of storage and technical upkeep.

运行本地节点可为用户提供直接私人访问以太坊的访问。他们可以与分散的应用相互作用，并独立验证区块链活动。但是，随着以太坊的大小气球，在存储和技术维护方面，运行完整的节点对普通用户的要求过于要求。

Buterin believes Ethereum’s scaling roadmap has leaned too heavily on complex cryptographic solutions like ZK-EVMs (zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machines), which allow for fast transaction validation. These technologies are useful, but they don’t solve the deeper issue: that Ethereum needs to be more accessible.

Buterin认为，以太坊的扩展路线图过于依赖ZK-EVM（零知识以太坊虚拟机）等复杂的加密解决方案，这可以进行快速交易验证。这些技术很有用，但是它们不能解决更深入的问题：以太坊需要更容易访问。

In a recent proposal, Buterin argues that full independence shouldn’t require expert knowledge or advanced hardware. He believes Ethereum should prioritize lightness, modularity, and localizability—a direction he feels is more compatible with a decentralized future.

在最近的一项建议中，布特林认为完全独立性不需要专家知识或高级硬件。他认为，以太坊应优先考虑轻巧，模块化和本地化，这是他认为与分散的未来更兼容的方向。

To reverse the trend, Buterin recommends fast-tracking EIP-4444—a proposal that would limit how much historical data nodes are required to store. If nodes only needed to keep about a month’s worth of history, it would significantly reduce their size, making it far easier for regular users to participate.

为了扭转这种趋势，Buterin建议快速跟踪EIP-4444，这是一项建议，该提案将限制存储需要多少历史数据节点。如果节点只需要保留大约一个月的历史历史，它将大大降低其规模，从而使普通用户更容易参与。

To ensure old data isn’t lost, Buterin suggests distributing storage across the network using erasure coding, where every node holds a small, recoverable piece of the puzzle.

为了确保旧数据不会丢失，Buterin建议使用Erasure编码在网络上分配存储，每个节点都容纳了一个较小的，可恢复的拼图。

He also proposes rebalancing Ethereum’s gas fee system. At the moment, it’s cheap to add new data to the chain—like launching new tokens or apps—but more expensive to run computations. Flipping this balance could help control Ethereum’s data growth, easing pressure on those running nodes.

他还建议重新平衡以太坊的汽油费系统。目前，在链条上添加新数据（例如启动新的令牌或应用程序）是很便宜的，但是运行计算更昂贵。翻转这种平衡可以帮助控制以太坊的数据增长，从而减轻那些运行节点的压力。

Buterin envisions a scenario where someone using Ethereum primarily for DeFi could configure their node to focus just on the relevant contracts and tokens. Users could even automate these choices with a smart contract. This way, each person’s node would be lighter, faster, and tailored to their activity, further reducing the need to rely on external services.

Buterin设想了一种场景，其中使用以太坊的人主要用于DEFI可以配置其节点，以专注于相关的合同和令牌。用户甚至可以通过智能合同自动化这些选择。这样，每个人的节点将对他们的活动进行更轻，更快和量身定制，从而进一步减少了依靠外部服务的需求。

In other news, ETH price has dropped more than 4% over the past 24 hours as whales took profits.

另外，由于鲸鱼获利，过去24小时内，ETH Price在过去24小时内下跌了4％以上。

On-chain analytics platform Lookonchain reported that one address dumped 4,718 ETH for around $11.53 million, scoring a profit of $3.18 million. Another wallet sold 2,594 ETH for about $6.23 million, realizing a gain of $1.31 million.

On-Chain Analytics Platform Lookonchain报告说，一个地址以约1,153万美元的价格倾倒了4,718 ETH，获得了318万美元的利润。另一个钱包以约623万美元的价格出售了2594 ETH，意识到收益为131万美元。

These large-scale profit-taking moves come amid ongoing changes and new developments in the Ethereum network, which may be prompting some traders to reduce their exposure.

这些大规模的获利动作是在以太坊网络中进行的持续变化和新的发展之中，这可能会促使某些交易者减少其曝光率。

This isn’t the first time this month that Buterin has pushed for simplicity. Just weeks ago, he urged simplifying Ethereum’s Layer 1 design, noting that the network remains overly complex for many users.

这不是本月Buterin为简单起见的第一次。就在几周前，他敦促简化以太坊的第1层设计，并指出该网络对于许多用户而言仍然过于复杂。

His comments came just ahead of the Ethereum Foundation’s new Trillion Dollar Security Initiative, which was unveiled on May 14th.

他的评论就在以太坊基金会的新数万亿美元安全计划之前，该计划于5月14日揭幕。

The effort is focused on tightening Ethereum’s defenses as the network aims to become a key platform for global finance. The goal is to ensure Ethereum can securely support trillions of dollars in economic activity without compromising on decentralization or user control.

由于网络旨在成为全球金融的关键平台，这项工作的重点是收紧以太坊的防御能力。目的是确保以太坊可以安全地支持数万亿美元的经济活动，而不会损害权力下放或用户控制。
