Vitalik Buterin计划将以太坊的气体限制增加10-100倍，以支持高级可伸缩性

简洁的实验室的ZKVM演示给Buterin留下了深刻的印象，但仍需要改善能源使用和验证。实时证明技术可以彻底改变第1层的性能

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强调了一个简洁的实验室达到的一个重大里程碑，并且随便掉下了一些重磅炸弹：以太坊核心团队正计划将链条的气体限制增加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.

现在，为什么这很重要？好吧，简单地说，较高的气体限制对以太坊内的功率平衡具有一些有趣的含义。它还可以将链条上的关键批评付诸实践。

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

但是首先，让我们看一下简洁的实验室正在从事的工作。

Completing the journey of efficient real-time proofs

完成有效的实时证明旅程

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.

本周早些时候，Buterin对Uma Roy和她在简洁的实验室的团队完成了有效的实时证明旅程时，什么也没有赞美。

“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.

“人们经常问我，我现在最印象深刻的区块链空间的哪一部分。我的回答是：鲜明/ZK滚动的快速改善，以及完全缺乏抱怨ZK滚动的人，” Buterin说。

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.

他指的是简洁的实验室的SP1 HyperCube，这是一种ZKVM，可以迅速为大部分以太坊生成可验证的状态证明。在周四的帖子中，布特林分享了一段有关HyperCube的视频，并指出它已经可以在12秒内有效地证明90％的以太坊块。

“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说：“该系统能够通过64核CPU和10 kW的功率使用量达到这种水平，这与小房子或大型办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.

他补充说，即使在有6％的拜占庭攻击者的情况下，系统也能够快速生成证据，并且可以轻松地扩展系统以处理更多的链条和更高的吞吐量。

“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.”

“这真是太神奇了。我唯一的抱怨是，我希望该系统能够更加高效，理想地达到1-3 kW范围，这将使家庭用户和较小的团队能够运行实时证明系统。”

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

以太坊将增加10-100x气体限制

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，以太坊核心开发人员计划将链的气体限制增加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.

这一举动正在为涡轮增压造成乐观和ZK滚动的增长，因为它将降低验证者参与确保多个链条的经济和技术障碍。

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.

较高的气体限制还将减少设定气体限制时最小处理开销的相对重量，从而降低审查的潜力。最后，它将创建在链上部署更高级加密机制所需的气体空间，例如基于ZK的证明。

“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说：“我们仍在研究如何最好地实施这一变化的技术细节，但我认为这是确保以太坊在未来几年中继续进行创新和扩展的必要步骤。”

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.

气体极限是一个关键参数，它决定了可以在单个以太坊块中执行的计算工作量。目前，气体限制设置为较低，这对可以在链条上部署的智能合约的复杂性和表现力施加了限制。

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.

这导致了一种情况，即大多数高级加密技术和计算技术都在第2层上部署，而第1层很大程度上仅限于简单的令牌转移和其他低级操作。

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

Buterin说，较高的气体限制将允许在第1层上更丰富，更多样化的计算景观。

“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.”

“我们最终可以在链上进行足够高级的加密操作，以使高级用例，例如原子跨链掉期和可编程令牌，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.

他补充说，这还将为混合乐观的ZK滚动提供新的可能性，从而结合了这两个范式的优势。

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

“我们还可以看到我们甚至还没有想到的新的和意外的用例的出现。”
