🚀 Vitalik Buterin is on a mission to transform Ethereum into a lean, resilient powerhouse! 🌟 The Ethereum co-founder recently unveiled a bold vision to simplify Ethereum’s Layer 1 protocol over the next five years, aiming to bring its consensus and execution layers closer to the elegant simplicity that has made Bitcoin so robust and trusted

Vitalik highlights that Ethereum’s current complexity has often led to higher development costs, security risks, and a fragmented developer ecosystem. By drastically simplifying the consensus layer-through innovations like the new “Beam Chain” design with a streamlined three-slot finality mechanism-and rethinking the execution layer by potentially replacing the bloated EVM with a more efficient virtual machine like RISC-V or Cairo, Ethereum can become more scalable, secure, and accessible
