Vitalik Buterin Highlights Need for Simplified Ethereum Protocol

According to Odaily, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin emphasized the importance of a form of 'trustlessness' that has been undervalued for a long time. He stated that it is crucial for as many people as possible to fully understand the entire protocol from start to finish. If only a few individuals possess complete understanding, the system still faces a risk of implicit trust concentration. Buterin noted that Ethereum has room for improvement in this area. He suggested that simplifying protocol design and reducing system complexity could enhance overall comprehensibility. This approach would not only broaden the pool of individuals capable of participating in and auditing the protocol but also strengthen the transparency, security, and long-term resilience of the Ethereum ecosystem.
