Vitalik Buterin Warns Protocol Complexity Threatens Ethereum’s Decentralization Goals

TLDR: Complex protocols fail trustlessness by requiring specialized experts to verify properties. Backwards compatibility pressures cause protocol bloat as additions outpace feature removals. Buterin proposes garbage collection to minimize code and reduce cryptographic dependencies. Rosetta-style compatibility demotes legacy features to smart contracts outside core protocol.   Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has raised concerns about protocol [...]
