On May 17, Vitalik published the latest article on its homepage (the original and translated links), which talked about the recent and medium -term goals of Ethereum: continuously improved the degree of permissions and decentralization of Ethereum.
Although there are not many new technologies mentioned in this article, it once again clearly clarifies the core and most important characteristics of Ethereum: no license and decentralization are required.
This article is worth sharing with you. It allows us to understand the essence of Ethereum more deeply from the core and see the present and future of Ethereum more clearly.) The unshakable status in the blockchain ecology.
In this article, several issues that Vitalik talked about impressed me.
1 About the centralization of Ethereum pledge
This is an old problem.Vitalik has mentioned this topic many times in past articles.In this article, he mentioned this problem again.
He especially emphasizes the importance of individual mortgages, and believes that it is necessary to improve the current situation from many aspects, so that more Ethereum holders can become independent verification nodes, instead of entrusting ETH to some large institutions (For example, Lido, RockerPool, etc.) allowed these institutions to arrange mortgage operations.
In the article, Vitalik mentioned the dilemma facing individuals’ mortgages: for example, the threshold for 32 ETH pledge is too high, the threshold for personal running hardware is too high, the personal punishment is too heavy due to accidental punishment, etc., and these issues are on these issues.I put forward my own opinion.
In fact, he gave more detailed analysis and solutions on these problems in the past articles, but those articles were too technical and the media read -rarely referred to, so the community did not seem to have many discussions on this.
However, in Ethereum’s medium- and long -term planning, a series of ideas and methods to alleviate these problems have been conceived.
For example, the future Ethereum node is likely to be divided into levels: the core nodes need 32 ETH for mortgage, they are responsible for high -performance operations; non -core nodes only need to run light clients, and ordinary users can run lightly without mortgage 32 ETHs to run lightlyParticipate in transactions or block verification.
In this way, more vast users can independently participate in the verification of the Ethereum main network without relying on institutions or organizations.This will strengthen the decentralized characteristics of Ethereum.
2 About MEV
MEV is a new problem that has occurred since the Ethereum DEFI ecosystem.
MEV refers to the use of their “privileges” to use their own “privileges” to make additional profits through the difference in the chain transaction.
This problem mainly plagues large households and high -frequency traders.For them, due to the amazing transaction volume, a small price can generate relatively large profit margins.For the vast majority of retail investors and low -frequency traders, MEV is not prominent.
I think this problem is more reflected in the community’s dissatisfaction with this phenomenon and the privileges and centralization of miners.
Some applications in the Defi ecosystem have adopted corresponding measures to prevent MEV, such as COWSWAP.In the article, Vitalik mentioned that he now uses COWSWAP.
In this issue, I impressed whether Vitalik or Ethereum core developers mentioned in an earlier article: that is, to use zero -knowledge proof of secret transaction information, and completely cut off the clues of Miner’s use of MEV fisheries.
Prevention or (“minimizing” by Vitalik) mev I believe that in the future, I will be supported in the architecture of Ethereum.
3 No need to permit and decentralization about Ethereum
Vitalik’s discussion about this is the most valuable point in the whole article.
Since 2017, with the boost of a series of large capital, a large number of so -called “high -performance” first layers (Layer 1) have emerged endlessly, and their currency prices have recorded amazing returns.
This situation has created a big joy in both investors and participants, and even so far this situation has not decreased ——- The new first-level blockchain is still sought after.
What follows is a plausible view that is becoming more and more popular in encrypted ecology: as the first blockchain as the bottom layer of encrypted ecological facilities, it is necessary to pursue “high performance” and “high speed”.
I don’t care about this point of view. I don’t care about it at all. What I care about is the core members of the Ethereum community, especially whether the spiritual leader of Ethereum Vitalik will gradually be wrapped in such words, soVaguely his ideas and ideas, slowly led Ethereum onto the wrong road.
In this article, Vitalik clearly stated:
“There are almost infinite number of blockchain projects aiming at” We can be super fast, we will consider decentralization later “.”I think Ethereum should not be one of these projects.Ethereum Layer 1 can and of course be a powerful basic layer of the Layer 2 solution that adopts a large -scale method, using Ethereum as a pillar of decentralization and security.”
The essence of Ethereum and the essence of the encrypted world.
