You’ll Never Believe Vitalik Buterin’s Wild Plan to Declutter Ethereum—Seriously?!

Right, so Vitalik Buterin (yes, the Ethereum chap with the cheekbones you could hang a bicycle on) has popped out with a glamorous five-year plan. The basic gist? “Let’s tidy up Ethereum,” as if it’s some sort of digital sock drawer that’s gotten completely out of hand.

It’s not just about aesthetics, apparently—his grand scheme (“Simplifying the L1”, because, of course, the tech crowd loves a jazzy name) is all about slashing code bloat. Translation: less coding spaghetti, more elegant blockchain strutting down the virtual catwalk.

Drawing inspiration from Bitcoin’s über-minimalist vibe, Buterin wants to set an actual limit on the number of lines the Ethereum core protocol can have. Yes: the Marie Kondo method, but for code. Only keep what sparks joy (or security, or efficiency).

The dream? A sleek, streamlined Ethereum that doesn’t make developers cry, wallets panic, or security experts sigh into their mugs of cold coffee. Simpler, safer, and—let’s be honest—possibly far less entertaining on Crypto Twitter. Watch this space. 🧑‍💻✨
