Vitalik Buterin outlines 3 key updates to minimize Ethereum attack vectors

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin has unveiled three structural updates that will shape the network's future direction, according to U.Today. Buterin proposed three key changes: limiting the number of contract code bytes accessible per transaction, introducing a cap on ZK-EVM prover cycles (computational load), and overhauling the EVM memory cost structure while strengthening its hard cap. He explained that Ethereum is progressively evolving to limit the workload a single transaction or block can handle, a trend he expects to accelerate. Buterin added that these restrictions will reduce Ethereum's potential attack surface, making the network a simpler, more secure, and predictable system.
