PANews, le 30 mai - Selon les informations de DL News, la semaine dernière, lors de l'événement ETHBerlin de cette année, Vitalik Buterin, co-fondateur d'Ethereum, a décrit certains regrets qu'il a concernant la conception initiale d'Ethereum. Vitalik a déclaré qu'il avait une série de choses qu'il aurait pu faire différemment. Ces choses vont de développement de la machine virtuelle Ethereum aux contrats intelligents, en passant par le mécanisme de consensus de preuve d'enjeu. Il a également déclaré que même si Ethereum devient de plus en plus populaire, il est toujours mal compris.
ETHBerlin organizer Afri Schoeden asked, "Based on everything you know and have learned over the past 10 years, if you were to start from scratch today, how would you build Ethereum differently?" Vitalik stated that the initial design of Ethereum's EVM chose 256-bit processing instead of 64-bit or 32-bit. The original design was too complex for 256-bit and it was highly inefficient. Even when executing simple tasks, it could generate a large amount of redundant data on the blockchain. Additionally, Vitalik mentioned that Ethereum should have switched from Proof of Work to Proof of Stake earlier, ideally in 2022. He said, "We wasted a lot of time trying to make Proof of Stake perfect. If we had a simpler Proof of Stake mechanism as early as 2018, we could have saved a lot of trees." Vitalik also noted, "The automatic logging of Ethereum transactions should have been there from the beginning. It would only have taken us 30 minutes to code, but instead, it became an EIP." The precise change will be made through EIP-7708, which was submitted by Vitalik on May 17. Furthermore, Vitalik stated that if given the chance to choose again, he would use SHA-2 for encrypting Ethereum instead of the current algorithm called Keccak.
尽管存在一系列小的设计失误，但Vitalik表示任何项目都难免会出现这样的情况。他表示：“我真的很高兴，我觉得我们的核心开发人员及其执行能力似乎每年都在不断提高。我们现在有能力有效地、安全地纠正其中的一些错误。"
