Vitalik Buterin supports the gradual ossification of Ethereum’s protocol, favoring technical debt cleanup, scaling, and simplification as a pathway to stability without restricting core development.
Vitalik Buterin has endorsed a gradual approach to 'ossifying' Ethereum’s protocol once short-term goals such as scaling, simplification, and technical debt resolution are achieved. He opposes limiting the core research circle, advocating for balanced and expanded development efforts rather than drastic constraints on the Ethereum protocol’s evolution.
