The Ethereum researcher boasts “Lean Ethereum” to simplify the technical complexity


The researcher of the Ethereum Foundation, Justin Drake, proposed “Lean Ethereum”, a plan to create the network of intelligent contract Layer-1 quantum-secret, while simplifying the technological battery of Ethereum, which includes the layer of consensus, the data layer and the execution layer.

The researcher propose Virtual machines fed with zero knowledge, a way to check the data without revealing the content of this data, for resistant to the execution layer and strengthen security.

Drake asked Data availability sampling As a way to reduce storage requirements for Ethereum blockchain, while preserving the integrity of the blocks.

The sampling of data availability is a technique that checks the small random pieces of a block to ensure that the block is exact without a node to download the full block to determine if it is valid.

He also proposed Adopt a RISC-V frameworkwhich is a set of simplified computer instructions designed to tell a computer processor what to do. This would make the layer of consensus more secure while simplifying the technical components of consensus.

Supporters of the RISC-V Framework maintain that it increases security by reducing attack areas and possible wanderings in a network and its constituent nodes.

The developers continue to call a simpler Ethereum technological battery to promote ease of use among blockchain developers, while reducing the complexity and limitation of deadlines. The network of intelligent contracts has faced repeated criticism from developers for its technical complexity.

The co-founder Ethereum Vitalik Buterin and other developers express similar concerns

In May, the co-founder Ethereum Vitalik Buterin said he wanted Simplify the technological battery of Ethereum Over the next five years to make the architecture of the blockchain network as simple as Bitcoin.

Vitalik said The fact that too much technical development on Ethereum “has contributed to a large part of our excessive development expenses, to all kinds of security risks and to the insularity of culture and culture of development, often looking for services that have proven to be illusory”.

So butter proposed the transition to a RISC-V architecture In April to make the network faster and more resilient.

Others, like the Xinxin fan, the head of the cryptography of the Iiootex decentralized blockchain platform, proposed proof of zero knowledge as a means of Quantum resistant the whole network without sacrificing the user experience.
