The co -founder of Ethereum Vitalik Buterin asked Ethereum's basic protocol and aimed to make the network more efficient, protected and accessible and to be inspired by the minimalist design of Bitcoin.
In a blog post with the title “Simplying the L1”, which was published on May 3, but Berin laid a vision for the restructuring of the architecture of Ethereum about consensus, execution and customary components.
“This article describes how Ethereum could be as easy as Bitcoin in 5 years,” wrote butterin and argued that simplicity is the important thing to Ethereum's resilience and long -term scalability.
While the most recent upgrades similar to Proof-of-Stake (POS) and Zero-Know-Lede integration of non-interactive knowledge (ZK-Snark) made the non-interactive argument for knowledge (ZK-Snark) Ethereum more robust, he said that the technical complexity has led to inflated development cycles, higher costs and better risks of bugs:
“Historically speaking, Ethereum has often not done this (sometimes due to my very own decisions), and this has contributed to nearly all of our excessive development editions, all sorts of security risks and the insularity of F&E culture, which have often proven to be illusory.”Buterin praises Bitcoin for his simplicity.

Ethereum eyes “3-slot validity” to simplify the consensus
An essential focus is the consensus layer of Ethereum. The focus of those efforts is the proposed “3-slot validity” model, which eliminates complex components similar to epochs, synchronization committees and validator mixtures.
“The reduced variety of lively validators at the identical time implies that it becomes safer to make use of simpler implementations of the fork alternative rule,” wrote Butterin.
Other proposed improvements include the enabling of simpler rules for the choice of fork and the introduction of scalable aggregation protocols (transparent argument of information (strong) with a purpose to decentralize and simplify network coordination.
On the execution layer, butterin proposed a shift from the Virtual Machine (EVM) to a less complicated, ZK-friendly virtual machine similar to RISC-V. This step could offer 100-fold performance improvements for zero-knowledge evidence and significantly simplify the protocol.
RISC-V is an open source instruction architecture (ISA) that’s used to design computer processors. It follows a minimalist design philosophy using a small series of easy instructions for top efficiency and simpler implementation.
In order to keep up the downward compatibility, butterin proposed to prepare Legacy EVM contracts via a RISC-V interpreter and to support each VMS at the identical time during a transition phase.
Buterin demands protocol -wide standards
Buterin also campaigned for the protocol -wide standardization. He suggested that a single extinguishing method, a serialization format (SSZ) and the tree structure to cut back redundant complexity and optimize the tools and infrastructure of Ethereum.
“Simplicity is comparable in some ways of decentralization,” wrote butterin. He suggested that Ethereum said goodbye to a “maximum code” goal, much like Tinygrad, which kept consensus -critical logic as slim and testable as possible.
Non -critical heirs would remain, but are outside the first specification.
The proposal from the Buterin to simplify Ethereum, because the network continues to lose the market share for competing blockchains.
During a panel discussion in Longitude by CoinTelegraph event on May 2, Alex Svanevik, CEO of Data Service Nansen, said the relative dominance of Ethereum under L1 blockchain networks.
“If they’d asked me 3 to 4 years ago whether Ethereum would dominate crypto, I’d have said,” said Svanevik during a panel discussion within the event of a slowness by CoinTelegraph event. “But now it is obvious that that doesn't occur.”
