Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, shared the next step for simplifying the protocol and reducing the load on node resources called Purge This will be an important step in change. Ethereum That involves deleting past and excess network history. and simplify the network over time.
In addition to reducing storage space in the past This step also significantly reduces the hard disk requirements for node operators and the technical burden of the Ethereum protocol.
Buterin noted that The introduction of Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) -6780 during Dencun’s Hard Fork eliminated the code functionality. “SELFDESTRUCT” mostly leaves This simplifies the protocol by removing complexity and adding new security guarantees.
Buterin said that after the implementation of EIP-6780, each Ethereum block will have a higher number of storage slots. This is due to the cleanup of some SELFDESTRUCT functionality, and Buterin hopes the new EIP will completely eliminate SELFDESTRUCT code in the future.
Data purge is done via EIP-4444 to limit the amount of historical data stored. And because of this, nodes have the option to prune past blocks that are more than one year old.
Buterin said EIP-4444 could significantly increase Ethereum node decentralization.
“It is possible that if each node stores a small percentage of its history by default, We could have about the same number of individual copies of history stored on the network as we do today.”
The Ethereum co-founder also shared that Geth recently removed thousands of lines of code, removing support for pre-Merge (PoW) networks.
Buterin also discussed the need to clean pre-compiled Ethereum contracts. It is used to implement complex cryptography that cannot be implemented by Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
