Vitalik Buterin揭示了一个计划简化以太坊协议的计划，灵感来自比特币的设计

简化了2025年5月3日发布的L1是Buterin广泛的博客文章，概述了一项为期五年的策略，以使以太坊更高效，安全和易于使用。

Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, has shared his vision for simplifying the fundamental protocol of Ethereum, drawing inspiration from the clean design of Bitcoin. In a recent blog post titled "Simplifying L1," Buterin unveiled a five-year plan to make Ethereum more efficient, secure, and accessible. The plan aims to keep Ethereum running as a top blockchain platform while making it more like Bitcoin in terms of how it works and how it is built.

以太坊联合创始人Vitalik Buterin分享了他简化以太坊基本协议的愿景，从比特币的清洁设计中汲取灵感。在最近的一篇名为“简化L1”的博客文章中，Buterin推出了一项为期五年的计划，以使以太坊更高效，安全和访问。该计划旨在使以太坊作为顶级区块链平台运行，同时使其更像是比特币的工作方式和建造方式。

Buterin's reflections on the simplicity of Bitcoin's protocol, which a high school student could fully understand, and how this clarity allowed hobbyist programmers to build a Bitcoin client with ease, has led him to believe that Ethereum should push for similar transparency as a means of broadening participation and strengthening its foundation.

Buterin对比特币协议的简单性的思考，该协议可以完全理解该协议，以及这种清晰度如何使业余爱好者程序员轻松建立一个比特币客户，这使他相信以太坊应该推动类似的透明度作为扩大参与和增强其基础的手段。

A simpler Layer 1 (L1) of Ethereum, the layer that serves the network, would also be easier for people to understand, leading to greater participation from developers and researchers in the protocol. This would also help to make the protocol less centralized in the hands of a small group of technical experts.

一个更简单的以太坊的第1（L1）（服务于网络的层）也更容易理解，从而使开发人员和研究人员参与协议。这也将有助于使协议降低在一小部分技术专家的手中。

This would also reduce the cost of developing new infrastructure (clients and tools) for the network. Less complexity reduces the chance of critical design and implementation errors for the protocol. The fewer moving parts, the fewer bugs to write and, more importantly, the easier it is to verify that the system is sound, Buterin wrote.

这还将降低为网络开发新的基础架构（客户和工具）的成本。较小的复杂性减少了协议的关键设计和实施错误的机会。 Buterin写道，移动部件越少越越少，更重要的是，更重要的是，验证系统是正确的。

A simpler protocol also decreases vulnerability to social attacks. The network is more secure in coordinating efforts to exploit its structure with fewer components to manipulate. These changes will make Ethereum a more trusted and neutral base layer, like Bitcoin, which helps long-term stability, Buterin said.

简单的协议还减少了对社会攻击的脆弱性。该网络更安全地协调努力，以利用其结构而使用更少的组件进行操纵。 Buterin说，这些变化将使以太坊成为更具信任和中立的基础层，例如比特币，这有助于长期稳定。

This pushes the protocol in the opposite direction to Layer 2 scaling solutions, which are designed to add new functionality. Buterin's goal is to make Ethereum L1 as simple and secure as possible, and then let L2s be used to build any application that people want.

这将协议以相反的方向推到第2层缩放解决方案，该解决方案旨在添加新功能。 Buterin的目标是使以太坊L1尽可能简单和安全，然后让L2s用于构建人们想要的任何应用程序。

Charles Hoskinson, creator of Cardano and former co-founder of Ethereum, had warned that if Ethereum doesn't address its increasing complexity and reliance on Layer 2 networks, it might collapse in ten to fifteen years. These problems threaten to diminish the fundamental value of Ethereum, so Buterin's efforts toward simplicity are a relevant response to such concerns.

卡尔达诺（Cardano）的创建者，以太坊前联合创始人的创建者查尔斯·霍斯金森（Charles Hoskinson）警告说，如果以太坊不会解决其对第二层网络的复杂性和依赖的日益严重，那么它可能会在十到十五年之内崩溃。这些问题可能会降低以太坊的基本价值，因此，布特林为简单性所做的努力是对此类关注的相关回应。

Key Changes to Ethereum's Architecture

以太坊架构的关键变化

Buterin's simplification plan includes a number of technical changes. The main focus of this project is on simplifying the Ethereum consensus layer. The proposed "Beam Chain" initiative aims to streamline consensus mechanisms, making them more efficient and secure. To do so, we suggest adapting strategies proven in consensus theory and combining them with zero-knowledge technologies like ZK-SNARKs to optimize the framework.

Buterin的简化计划包括许多技术更改。该项目的主要重点是简化以太坊共识层。提出的“光束链”计划旨在简化共识机制，使其更有效和安全。为此，我们建议对共识理论证明的调整策略，并将它们与ZK-SNARKS等零知识技术相结合以优化框架。

Another major upgrade is the replacement of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which serves as the smart contract execution environment. Instead of the EVM, Buterin proposed shifting towards a more efficient, ZK-friendly virtual machine like one based on RISC-V architecture. This would shift up the performance by up to 100 times and address the current bottlenecks in transaction processing. This transition would be backward compatible with existing contracts so that developers would be able to upgrade it smoothly.

另一个主要升级是替换以太坊虚拟机（EVM），该机器是智能合同执行环境。 Buterin不是EVM，而是提出了基于RISC-V体系结构的更高效，对ZK友好型虚拟机的转变。这将最多将性能提高100次，并解决交易处理中当前的瓶颈。这种过渡将与现有合同兼容，以便开发人员能够顺利进行升级。

Moreover, the strategy aims to restrict the number of code lines in Ethereum's fundamental protocol. Setting this cap allows the community to move towards the concise codebase of Bitcoin and keep crucial functionalities. The goal of these reforms is to turn Ethereum into a more efficient platform that will earn trust and become more globally adopted.

此外，该战略旨在限制以太坊基本协议中的代码线数量。设置此上限使社区可以朝着比特币的简洁代码库发展，并保持关键功能。这些改革的目的是将以太坊变成一个更有效的平台，该平台将赢得信任并变得更加全球。
