TechFlow reports that on October 26, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin published a new article titled "The Future of the Ethereum Protocol (Part 5): The Purge." In the article, he指出 that one of the challenges facing Ethereum is that by default, the bloat and complexity of any blockchain protocol tend to grow over time. This occurs in two areas: historical data and protocol features. To ensure Ethereum's long-term sustainability, strong counter-pressure must be applied against both trends, reducing complexity and bloat over time. At the same time, one of the great properties of blockchains—permanence—must be preserved. The key goal of The Purge is to reduce storage requirements for clients by minimizing or eliminating the need for every node to permanently store all historical records, and possibly even formalizing this; and to reduce protocol complexity by removing unnecessary features.
