New statements about ETH came from Ethereum (ETH) founder Vitalik Buterin.
Speaking from his account, Buterin offered new proposals for ETH and announced three structural updates that will shape the future direction of the network. He stated that these are deep structural changes that strengthen the network, simplify clients, and prevent all classes of DoS vectors.
At this point, Buterin suggested three important updates to minimize Ethereum attack vectors.
Buterin proposed three key changes: “Limiting the number of contract code bytes accessible per transaction, imposing a limit on ZK-EVM prover cycles (computational overhead), and strengthening the hard limit while overhauling the EVM memory cost structure.”
Buterin explained that Ethereum has gradually evolved to limit the workload a single transaction or block can handle, and he expects this trend to accelerate.
Buterin also added that these restrictions will reduce Ethereum’s potential attack surface and make the network a simpler, more secure, and predictable system.
“It’s always nice to see people appreciate protocol changes that add hard invariants, which improve protocol security and future adaptability.
All of this eliminates entire classes of DoS risks, simplifies client code, and creates more options for how to increase efficiency by imposing various kinds of hard limits on how much can happen within a single block or a single transaction.
Here are the changes I think we’ll want soon:
* Limiting the number of code bytes accessed (short term: increased cost of calling large contracts, medium term: binary tree + per-piece pricing) * Limits on ZK-EVM prover cycles (repricing) * Changes to memory pricing to create a clearer hard limit on maximum EVM memory consumption.
*This is not investment advice.
