Vitalik: It is reasonable to "encapsulate" certain functions in the Ethereum protocol and follow the minimum viable encapsulation route

BlockBeats news, on September 30, Vitalik Buterin published a latest article titled "Should Ethereum Encapsulate More Content in the Protocol", pointing out that the original philosophy of Ethereum was to keep the underlying core as simple as possible, but recently people have been concerned about some Having generated interest in the integration of functionality into the underlying layers, the purpose of this article is to try to build a framework to better identify where embedding certain functionality within a protocol might be worth considering. The article specifically analyzes potential functions around account abstraction such as ERC-4337, ZK-EVMs, proposer-builder separation (ePBS), privacy memory pools, liquidity staking, and more precompiled contracts. Vitalik said that it is correct to keep the kernel simple from a pure software perspective, so that it can be easily adapted to the different needs of users and avoid the curse of software bloat. However, blockchains are not personal computing operating systems, they are social systems, which means it makes sense to encapsulate certain functionality in the protocol.
