Vitalik Proposes an "Extremely Lean Chain" for $ETH
Vitalik Buterin has published a new #ETH research proposal introducing an "Extremely Lean Chain" architecture designed to simplify the network's consensus layer while improving efficiency and privacy. The proposal outlines several key ideas:
• Reduce the amount of consensus state that nodes must store.
• Move validator balance updates into zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs, reducing on-chain state complexity.
• Re-anonymize validators on a daily basis to strengthen staking privacy and limit long-term identity tracking.
The proposal is part of Ethereum's ongoing research into making the protocol more scalable and easier to maintain. It is not an approved upgrade and would require extensive review, testing, and community consensus before any implementation.
