Vitalik Buterin Discusses Future-Proofing Ethereum with Fewer Precompiles
According to Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum should reduce the number of precompiles and instead implement EOF, followed by SIMD and EVMMAX. This approach aims to replace half of the existing precompiles with bytecode, making the system more future-proof. He highlights that this would be beneficial for projects like StarkWare, which require faster on-chain Poseidon computation but face challenges due to changing parameters. SIMD would allow such projects to manage these computations independently. (Source) |

Vitalik Buterin Discusses EVM Code and Precompile Enhancements
According to VitalikButerin, there is ongoing discussion about an Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) aimed at replacing the identity precompile with EVM code, which is the simplest form of precompile. Additionally, there is a debate on removing the ripemd160 and blake2f precompiles. Furthermore, EVM-MAX combined with SIMD is being considered as an alternative method to enhance the speed of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). These discussions could have significant implications for Ethereum's performance and efficiency, which are crucial factors for traders to monitor. (Source) |
