Ethereum at a Crossroads: Should the Protocol Embrace More Features?
- Ethereum co-founder explores the possibility of expanding Ethereum’s core protocol.
- A core developer argued ETH’s minimalism may not meet evolving user needs.
- The Ethereum community grapples with the balance between simplicity and innovation in its blockchain platform.
In a presentation, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin delved into a fundamental question facing the Ethereum community. The question is about Ethereum embracing a more extensive integration of features within its core protocol.
Buterin highlighted that Ethereum has adhered to a philosophy of simplicity, striving to keep the core Ethereum protocol as minimalistic as possible, focusing on building essential functionalities as separate protocols layered on top.
On the other hand, he mentioned that the community debates about “do it on Layer 1 (L1)” versus “focus on Layer 2 (L2) solutions” are frequently associated with scaling issues. Yet, Buterin pointed out that similar considerations extend to fulfilling various needs of Ethereum users. He sta…
