PANews reported on October 23 that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin published his latest article "The Future of Ethereum Protocol (Part 4): The Verge". The article stated that Ethereum plans to improve blockchain verification efficiency through the "Verge" project. Verge initially focused on stateless verification of Verkle trees, and has now expanded to comprehensive resource optimization, including the use of STARK technology to verify the execution layer and consensus layer of the chain. This design will enable ordinary devices such as mobile phones to run fully verified nodes, which is expected to lower the hardware threshold. The current project also focuses on increasing verification speed, reducing data storage requirements, and addressing the possibility of future quantum computer threats.
