Vitalik proposes key goals for Ethereum's future development in the Purge phase
Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, has released his latest article "The Future Development of the Ethereum Protocol (Part 5): The Purge". The article states that one of the challenges facing Ethereum is that, by default, the expansion and complexity of any blockchain protocol will increase over time. This happens in two places: historical data and protocol features.
In order for Ethereum to be able to be maintained in the long term, strong counter-pressure needs to be applied to these two trends, reducing complexity and bloating over time. But at the same time, one of the great features of blockchain needs to be preserved: permanence. The key goal of The Purge is to reduce the storage requirements of clients by reducing or eliminating the need for each node to permanently store all historical records, and possibly even declare it in the end; and to reduce protocol complexity by eliminating unnecessary features.
