Vitalik Proposes Introducing Transaction Simulation Feature to Enhance Ethereum Security and User Experience

Odaily News Ethereum co-founder Vitalik has proposed enhancing the user experience and security of Ethereum wallets and smart contracts through features such as "transaction simulation." Users can first specify their on-chain operation intent, then choose to "confirm" or "cancel" by viewing the transaction simulation results.

Furthermore, he suggested introducing mechanisms like spending limits and multi-signature authorization to ensure alignment between user intent, expected outcomes, and risk limitations, thereby reducing the likelihood of high-risk operations. However, he also noted that defining user intent is extremely complex and achieving "perfect security" is impossible, calling for multiple methods to verify user intent to enhance system security.

Security is one of blockchain's "impossible trilemma," alongside decentralization and scalability, as key challenges. In recent years, the Ethereum ecosystem has focused more on decentralization and scalability, especially the latter. (Cointelegraph)
