Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has proposed a five-year plan to simplify Ethereumโs base layer. Titled โSimplifying the L1,โ the proposal aims to reduce complexity, lower development costs, and improve security. Inspired by Bitcoinโs clean and minimal design, Buterin suggests setting a cap on the number of code lines in Ethereumโs core protocol. This would help Ethereum become more resilient and easier to maintain over time, ensuring the network stays strong and efficient for the long run.
