Vitalik Buterin warns that Ethereum\u2019s push to add new features while preserving backward compatibility is inflating protocol complexity, calling for a \u201cgarbage collection\u201d process.<\/p>\n
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin is urging developers to confront the protocol bloat driven by an endless push to add new features while rarely removing old ones.<\/p>\n
In a Sunday post<\/a> on X, Buterin argued that true trustlessness and self-sovereignty depend less on raw decentralization metrics and more on simplicity. <\/p>\n \u201cEven if a protocol is super decentralized with hundreds of thousands of nodes, and it has 49% byzantine fault tolerance, and nodes fully verify everything with quantum-safe peerdas and starks, if the protocol is an unwieldy mess of hundreds of thousands of lines of code and five forms of PhD-level cryptography, ultimately that protocol fails,\u201d he claimed <\/p>\n Read more<\/p>\n If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
