Vitalik: Bitcoin Community Deserves Recognition for UTXO Innovation, Ethereum Scaling Will Integrate Advantages of Multiple State Models

Odaily News Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said in a post on X that the Bitcoin community deserves recognition for advancing related technical concepts, including UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output) state optimization solutions such as Utreexo. The scaling roadmap Ethereum is currently exploring is precisely about integrating the advantages of different blockchain state models in practice.

Vitalik Buterin pointed out that Ethereum hopes to simultaneously possess the advantages of UTXO-mode state, dynamic state, and solutions in between, enabling the vast majority of network activity to achieve "hyperscale" without sacrificing decentralization, node operation convenience, or censorship resistance.

Vitalik Buterin stated that future Ethereum scaling is not about simply replicating a single architecture, but rather about combining different design philosophies to improve throughput while maintaining network openness and security.

Among these, Utreexo is a state compression solution proposed by the Bitcoin ecosystem that reduces node storage burden by introducing accumulator technology, making full node operation more lightweight and considered helpful for improving Bitcoin's long-term scalability.
