Vitalik: Ethereum will continue to push forward with several "hard rules" to enhance security and protocol efficiency.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated in an article on the X platform that Ethereum has effectively improved its protocol security and long-term adaptability in recent years by continuously introducing a number of "hardened, fixed rules." He recalled:

2021: EIP-2929 and EIP-3529, increasing storage read costs and reducing gas rebates;

2024: With the upgrade of the village, the contract destruction order will be weakened;

2025: Set a gas cap of 16,777,216 for a single transaction.

Vitalik pointed out that these changes set clear limits on the maximum processing capacity of a single block and a single transaction, which helps to avoid various types of denial-of-service attacks, simplify client implementation, and provide more room for improving system efficiency.

He also indicated that more stringent restrictions are expected to be introduced, including:

Limit the total number of bytes of accessible code (in the short term, this will increase the cost of calling large contracts; in the medium term, a binary tree structure and billing per data block will be adopted).

Set the maximum computation cycle of the validator for the zero-knowledge EVM and adjust the cost accordingly;

Adjust the memory billing method to set a more specific upper limit for the maximum memory consumption of the EVM.
