According to external media, Ethera is preparing to advance the largest-scale bottom re-engineering since a merger. In the direction of Vitalik Buterin ' s latest disclosure, network authentication, encryption programmes, storage structures and implementation engines may be gradually replaced over the next three to four years, but existing applications will be as compatible as possible.

The road map, known as “Lean Etheleum”, is not a single upgrade, but a long rewrite. According to the article, at the time the plan was introduced, the price of vinyl currency was still significantly lower than the previous high, and the ETA Foundation had just completed its budget and staff contraction, and was therefore more concerned about its ability to implement.

Recursive STARK becomes central direction

At the heart of the road map is the shift from “repeated transaction execution at all nodes” to “certification through certification”. Buterin suggested that retrogression STARK would be the technical basis for this change. In short, when a machine has completed a complex calculation, the other nodes need only certify a compression certificate, rather than having to rerun the transaction in its entirety.

If this direction falls, the nodal burden will decrease and the speed of recognition is expected to increase. According to the article, this is not only an adjustment of performance, but also a re-engineering of the safe model of the Taifaf.

The storage and the executive levels will be adjusted.

In addition to the means of verification, storage models are an important part of this re-engineering. Buterin stated that existing status data would limit growth and introduce new low-cost storage. The tokens, NFTs and parts of DeFi applications can be moved voluntarily to the new layer in exchange for lower costs, while relying on deeper agreements can remain in the original structure.

According to the article, Buterin expected that the new reservoir would be expected to lower some of its usage costs to less than one tenth of its original level and significantly increase the size of the data available.

At the executive level, the ETA has long been planning to introduce new virtual machines outside EVM. It is mentioned that RISC-V and leanISA are the candidate options discussed, while EVM may in the future withdraw from the compatibility role to ensure that existing applications do not need to be rewritten immediately.

Quantum safety priority is clearly rising.

According to the article, the most obvious change in this update is not how much has been added, but the security of quantum is being moved forward. Buterin states that the Quantum Safety Requirements have been incorporated at multiple levels and are no longer merely a forward issue.

According to the text, many of the current key components of the Taifung are subject to similar risks, including user signatures, the BLS convergence programme used at the Consensus Level, and the KZG commitment mechanism associated with the blob data. The road map hopes to complete a more complete post-quantifiable coverage by 2029.

However, such migration is not just a substitute algorithm. According to the article, post-quant signatures and certificates are usually larger and more expensive and must be synchronized with STARK certification layers and gas designs, otherwise network costs may increase significantly.

The routine upgrade will continue.

In terms of timing, the ETA will continue to expand in the short term through conventional upgrades, including raising the gas ceiling, increasing the blob capacity and optimizing the block rhythm. The article mentions that Glamsterdam will lead to a larger gas upgrade, and that Hegota, which is expected to be launched later this year, could be the last regular upgrade before the Lean Etheum era.

According to external sources, the key issue of the road map is not whether the vision is large enough, but whether the ETA can complete a synchronized re-engineering of the system covering authentication, storage, implementation and cryptography in the context of organizational contraction and increased competition. For developers and institutional users, this will determine the sustainability of the bottom-up network in the coming years.
