According to @deanmlittle, introducing versioned bytecode in blockchain protocols could lead to significant technical debt and ongoing vulnerabilities, as it creates a deeper moat for recurring bugs. He suggests a single fork to support upstream eBPF and warns that repeated changes may impact protocol stability, which is critical information for traders assessing network security and reliability risks.

According to VitalikButerin, the Ethereum community should not consider forking in response to Layer 2 bugs. Instead, forks should address bugs within the core Ethereum protocol. Buterin suggests that the Ethereum protocol could eventually incorporate ZK EVM verifiers as part of the 'native rollups' concept. Such an approach would require a robust combination of multi-provers and formal verification to minimize the future need for forks, directly impacting trading strategies by ensuring greater protocol stability and security.
