以太坊（ETH）聯合創始人 Vitalik Buterin 分享對「The Purge」增強計劃的見解

以太坊（ETH）聯合創始人 Vitalik Buterin 最近分享了對該項目增強計劃之一「The Purge」的一些見解。

Ethereum (ETH) co-founder Vitalik Buterin has shared some insights on “The Purge,” one of the project’s enhancement plans. He highlighted how it would solve the challenges of complexity and bloat on the network.

以太坊（ETH）聯合創始人 Vitalik Buterin 分享了對該項目增強計劃之一「The Purge」的一些見解。他強調了它將如何解決網路複雜性和膨脹的挑戰。

This marks the fifth part of the “Possible futures of the Ethereum protocol” series, which he began a few weeks ago. In previous series, Buterin shared updates on The Merge, The Scourge, The Surge, and more recently, The Verge.

這是他幾週前開始的「以太坊協議的可能未來」系列的第五部分。在之前的系列中，Buterin 分享了 The Merge、The Scourge、The Surge 以及最近的 The Verge 的最新動態。

The Purge Tackles Data Storage

清除解決資料儲存問題

The Ethereum co-founder is confident that The Purge can prevent the mainnet’s complexity from negating the improvements implemented over time. At first, the blockchain genius outlined historical data and protocol features as two approaches to get Ethereum data storage congested.

這位以太坊聯合創始人相信，清除計劃可以防止主網的複雜性抵消隨著時間的推移所實施的改進。首先，這位區塊鏈天才概述了歷史數據和協議功能作為導致以太坊數據存儲擁塞的兩種方法。

For historical data, any transaction made and any account created at any point in history are stored by all clients forever. Full synchronization with the network becomes achievable when new clients download these stored details.

對於歷史數據，歷史上任何時刻進行的任何交易和創建的任何帳戶都將由所有客戶永久儲存。當新客戶端下載這些儲存的詳細資訊時，可以實現與網路的完全同步。

Once this sync is achieved, client load and sync time are pushed to a higher level. This has an untold impact on the future of the chain.

一旦實現同步，客戶端負載和同步時間就會被推向更高的水平。這對連鎖店的未來有著不可估量的影響。

On the other hand, protocol features, which involve removing old data, are complex and could cause code complexity to grow over time. To solve this, Buterin said protocol continuity is vital. He opined that the team can achieve these by removing the complexities linked to data storage.

另一方面，涉及刪除舊資料的協定功能很複雜，可能會導致程式碼複雜度隨著時間的推移而增加。 Buterin 表示，為了解決這個問題，協議的連續性至關重要。他認為團隊可以透過消除與資料儲存相關的複雜性來實現這些目標。

Like for every other enhancement he wrote about, the Ethereum innovator proposed two solutions to work on. He identified introducing an existing torrent library as one of the two solutions.

就像他所寫的所有其他增強功能一樣，這位以太坊創新者提出了兩種解決方案。他認為引進現有的 torrent 函式庫是兩個解決方案之一。

Buterin also named an Ethereum-native solution called The Portal Network as a solution to solve the challenges above. According to him, implementing either of these two solutions can easily cause Ethereum to turn on EIP-4444.

Buterin 也命名了名為 Portal Network 的以太坊原生解決方案作為解決上述挑戰的解決方案。據他介紹，實施這兩種解決方案中的任何一種都可以輕鬆導致以太坊開啟EIP-4444。

Other Enhancements For The Ethereum Network

以太坊網路的其他增強功能

A few days ago, Buterin wrote about the Verge, citing its potential improvement to Ethereum’s Proof of Stake (PoS) system. Ethereum switched to the PoS consensus algorithm after The Merge in September 2022.

幾天前，Buterin 撰寫了有關 Verge 的文章，指出其對以太坊權益證明（PoS）系統的潛在改進。以太坊在 2022 年 9 月合併後轉向 PoS 共識演算法。

Notably, the Verge enhancement focuses on making Ethereum node verification more accessible and fast for users. Buterin plans to expand participation in the network to address the data storage challenge.

值得注意的是，Verge 增強功能的重點是讓使用者更容易、更快速地進行以太坊節點驗證。 Buterin 計劃擴大網路的參與，以應對資料儲存挑戰。

The Verge upgrade’s intent is to deploy more efficient cryptographic instruments such as Verkle trees and SNARKs. In the long run, these techniques will help Ethereum nodes verify transactions without storing the entire blockchain, reducing the load on each device.

Verge 升級的目的是部署更有效率的加密工具，例如 Verkle 樹和 SNARK。從長遠來看，這些技術將幫助以太坊節點在不儲存整個區塊鏈的情況下驗證交易，從而減少每個設備的負載。

In the case of The Merge, Buterin pointed to single-slot finality and staking democratization. These two proposed solutions will maximize the number of validators participating in staking, which ultimately implies minimizing the ETH quantity required for staking.

在 The Merge 的例子中，Buterin 指出了單槽最終性和質押民主化。這兩個提議的解決方案將最大限度地增加參與質押的驗證者數量，這最終意味著最大限度地減少質押所需的 ETH 數量。

This would also minimize the time to finality and the overhead of running a node.

這也將最大限度地減少最終確定的時間和運行節點的開銷。

Will Ethereum Beat its Competitors Soon?

以太坊很快就會擊敗競爭對手嗎？

With the upcoming enhancements and upgrades, Ethereum has garnered much attention. Several market observers expect that the blockchain will outpace its counterparts. For now, Ethereum is facing tough competition with Solana regarding throughput and transaction speed.

隨著即將到來的增強和升級，以太坊引起了廣泛關注。一些市場觀察家預計區塊鏈將超越其同行。目前，以太坊在吞吐量和交易速度方面正面臨與 Solana 的激烈競爭。

About a week ago, Anatoly Yakovenko, the founder of Solana (SOL), shared new insights about its features distinguishing it from Ethereum. These include Solana’s capacity to handle network congestion.

大約一週前，Solana (SOL) 的創辦人 Anatoly Yakovenko 分享了有關其區別於以太坊功能的新見解。其中包括 Solana 處理網路擁塞的能力。

Still, Ethereum is known for its smart contract versatility. In the long term, the upgrades from Vitalik Buterin’s proposal can change the game.

儘管如此，以太坊仍以其智能合約的多功能性而聞名。從長遠來看，Vitalik Buterin 提案的升級可以改變遊戲規則。
