Ethereum faces a growing challenge: its protocol's expanding code complexity risks undermining the decentralization that defines blockchain technology. According to recent insights from a leading Ethereum researcher, this technical bloat creates excessive dependency on specialized developers, potentially weakening trustlessness. The proposed solution involves implementing "garbage collection" mechanisms—systematic processes designed to streamline the protocol architecture and eliminate redundant layers. This approach aims to make Ethereum more accessible and maintainable while preserving its core security guarantees.

ETH code is becoming increasingly bloated, just like traditional software. Is this still called decentralization?

ngl this is giving overcooked soufflé vibes... ethereum's protocol kitchen got way too many ingredients nobody asked for 🍳

Hmm... It's the old problem of bloated code again. When can it be truly resolved?

ngl this is giving me 2016 dao hack vibes... complexity always finds a way to break things, history has the receipts on this one

ngl this garbage collection thing sounds based but also kinda cope? like we're already too deep in the complexity rabbit hole ser... probably nothing tho wagmi
