- Possible futures of the Ethereum protocol, part 5: The Purge
- Ethereum faces challenges with protocol bloat and complexity, which grow over time due to historical data and the addition of new features. To address this, “The Purge” in the 2023 roadmap aims to reduce client storage requirements and protocol complexity while maintaining blockchain permanence. Possible solutions include history expiry, state expiry, and feature cleanup, all designed to simplify the protocol and ensure long-term sustainability.
- Possible futures of the Ethereum protocol, part 6: The Splurge
- The Splurge focuses on enhancing the EVM, implementing account abstraction, optimizing transaction fee economics, and exploring advanced cryptography for long-term improvements. It aims to achieve a performant and stable “endgame state” for the EVM, broader security and convenience through account abstraction, and more efficient and scalable transaction fee structures. Advanced cryptographic techniques like VDFs and obfuscation are also considered for future integration to enhance Ethereum’s capabilities.
