TechFlow news, October 29 — Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin released the sixth part of Ethereum's protocol development roadmap, titled "The Splurge." This roadmap focuses on EVM improvements, account abstraction, EIP-1559 enhancements, and exploration of advanced cryptographic techniques.
Vitalik pointed out that the top priority for EVM improvement is introducing the EVM Object Format (EOF), which will be implemented in the next hard fork. EOF will enable features such as code-data separation and disallowing dynamic jumps, laying the foundation for future upgrades like the EVM Modular Arithmetic eXtensions (EVM-MAX).
Regarding account abstraction, the roadmap proposes implementing more secure and user-friendly account management mechanisms at the protocol level, supporting quantum-resistant cryptography, key rotation, and other functions. Additionally, Vitalik emphasized the importance of improving the EIP-1559 fee mechanism to optimize the transaction fee economic model and enhance scalability.
