Vitalik Buterin Shares ‘The Splurge’ Roadmap for EVMs, Ethereum Price Gains 5.5%

Amid all the debate and discussions over Ethereum’s underperformance, co-founder Vitalik Buterin has been consistent in sharing new updates for the platform. Earlier today, Buterin shared a detailed blog post sharing key initiatives to optimize EVM as well as account security as part of ‘The Splurge’ roadmap. Following the development, the Ethereum Price has surged 5.5% moving past $2,600 levels as of press time.

Vitalik Buterin: The Splurge Roadmap to Enhance Protocol Design

Last week after sharing key insights on Ethereum ‘The Verge’ upgrade, Buterin shared another update to optimize the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EMV) as well as boost account security. ‘The Splurge’ roadmap from the Ethereum development team focuses on refining the Ethereum protocol to ensure its long-term success.

As a result, ‘The Splurge’ update comes with some ambitious objectives like EVM optimization, Account abstraction, transaction fee optimization, and advanced cryptography explorations, ber the blog post shared by Vitalik Buterin.

  • EVM Optimization: The goal here is to transform the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) to a more stable and efficient “endgame state”. Currently, the EVM designs face challenges in analysis and efficiency. The upcoming EVM Object Format (EOF) aims to rectify this with features such as:
    • Separation of executable code from data.
    • Banning dynamic jumps to enhance code safety.
    • Introduction of a new subroutine mechanism for improved performance.

    Following EOF implementation, the development team has planned subsequent updates like EVM Modular Arithmetic Extensions (EVM-MAX) and potential integration with Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) features will further boost performance, particularly for cryptographic operations.

  • Account Abstraction: At present, transaction verification solely depends on ECDSA signatures which makes key management and security management a bit complicated. The planned EIP-7702 will introduce features that allow all users, including those using externally owned accounts (EOAs). Thus, users will benefit from enhanced convenience without creating separate ecosystems. This development will simplify key management while enhancing security via advanced methods like multi-party computation.

Key Trade-Offs and Integrations

The introduction of EOF and account abstraction could bring new challenges associated with the complexity of the EVM and infrastructure, noted Vitalik Buterin. However, he noted that these developments would simplify higher-level programming while enhancing the efficiency of other Layer 2 solutions.

As Ethereum continues to evolve, the implementation of EVM-MAX combined with SIMD will be pivotal in reducing gas costs and improving overall performance.

Through these strategic enhancements, Ethereum will solidify its position as a leading blockchain platform. Besides, it will ensure that it remains adaptable and secure in a rapidly changing technological landscape.

Ethereum Price Gains 5.5%

Following the announcement from Vitalik Buterin, and amid the broader crypto market rally, the Ethereum price is up 5.5% trading at $2,612 levels with daily trading volumes skyrocketing by 93% to $21.69 billion.

It seems that investors have decided to look past the pessimism and concerns that ‘Ethereum is Dead‘ while targeting higher levels of $3,000 and more. For some weeks, the world’s second-largest altcoin has suffered to gain enough traction with the ETH/BTC pair hitting multi-year lows. Also, while the Ethereum price gains, the co-founder has been moving 400 ETH to four different addresses per the Peckshield data.

Earlier this week, Vitalik Buterin defended the sell-off from the Ethereum Foundation stating that it is part of their practice to pay all developers, validators, and other contributors within the ETH ecosystem.
