以太坊将使用“EVM 对象格式”对关键编程标准进行全面改革

EOF 提案是一系列计划中的变更，旨在更新无处不在的以太坊虚拟机（EVM）——在区块链上执行智能合约的编程环境，以及其本身不断发展的行业标准。

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.

以太坊开发人员正在准备硬分叉，该分叉将引入新版本的 EVM，旨在使智能合约对开发人员更加友好。

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.

被称为 EVM 对象格式 (EOF) 的以太坊改进提案 (EIP) 一直是今年开发人员讨论的主题，一些人对可能的安全风险表示担忧。

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 提案预计将包含在预计今年晚些时候或明年年初的一揽子重大变更中，旨在更新以太坊虚拟机（EVM）——在区块链上执行智能合约的编程环境。

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

具体来说，EOF 将使智能合约对开发人员更加友好，特别是对于那些使用 Solidity 或 Vyper 编程语言构建去中心化应用程序的人。

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，这一系列的变化也非常微妙，可能会破坏现有的智能合约，因此开发人员添加了新版本，允许 dapp 构建者在部署代码时选择使用哪个版本的 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.

以太坊基金会核心开发人员 Parithosh Jayanthi 在 Telegram 上发给 CoinDesk 的短信中表示：“EOF 将是多年来与 EVM 相关的第一个重大变化。”

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

“它为 EVM 的未来升级奠定了基础，并展示了继续改进 EVM 的基础层意图。”

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

作为第一个也是最大的智能合约区块链，以太坊定义了许多其他区块链所采用的编程标准。

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 区块链也找到了与 EVM 兼容的方法，认识到这项技术在区块链行业中的重要性。

But developers are now looking to introduce a newer version of the EVM, so they can write more secure smart contracts and dapps.

但开发人员现在正在寻求引入更新版本的 EVM，以便他们可以编写更安全的智能合约和 dapp。

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

因此，一些开发人员担心该过程可能会给网络带来一些意想不到的后果。

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

目前，Pectra 升级（以太坊的下一个硬分叉）的 EOF 组件由 11 项以太坊改进提案（EIP）组成。

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 在之前的升级中提出了 EOF 提案，但是当以太坊开发人员想要埋头研究原始 danksharding（另一项关键创新，使区块链上的数据存储更便宜、更快）时，他们推出了 EOF 并建议重新审视它对于佩克特拉。

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

EOF 的一位著名批评者是核心开发人员 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.

“我看到的问题是，现在执行这些操作、执行这些验证、这些检查也是共识的一部分，”他在布鲁塞尔以太坊社区会议上接受 CoinDesk 采访时说道。

"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.”

“这意味着如果其中存在错误，并且我们部署了通过验证的东西，但其中存在错误，那么它稍后会以非常意想不到的方式崩溃。”

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 对 EOF 的高度关注是“我们将面临的一大缺点是将该 EVM 与旧 EVM 一起维护。因为旧的不会去任何地方，对吗？每个人都在使用旧的。”

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

然而，大多数核心开发人员表示，EOF 将为以太坊生态系统带来的好处大于风险。

“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 已经准备好，实施已经完成，Solidity 等下游用户正在倡导它，”客户团队 Besu 的独立贡献者 Danno Ferrin 在 Telegram 上的一条消息中告诉 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.

“当该功能准备就绪并完成后，就该发布它或永久封存它了。 EOF 还修复了 EVM 自诞生以来所存在的大量技术债务。”Ferrin 说道。
