ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin spoke about the next stage of the blockchain roadmap, the Purge.
According to Buterin, the new stage of the roadmap aims to simplify the network structure and reduce the load on the nodes. Central to the development of the protocol at this stage is the implementation and development of EIP-6780, introduced during the recent Dencun hard fork. Optimizes the SELFDESTRUCT opcode, increasing security and simplifying protocol implementation.

“This EIP is a key example of an often underappreciated part of ethereum protocol development: the effort to simplify the protocol by removing complexity and adding new security guarantees.”

Buterin outlined several more points within ethereum to optimize the protocol. Recently, a Geth client removed thousands of lines of code, tidying up network support that had been added before the merge, while EIP-7523 fixed the “empty accounts” issue.
Thanks to the update, support for most empty accounts on ethereum proof-of-work (PoW) networks has ceased. Dencun's 18-day blob storage window also contributed to the simplification of the protocol, limiting the information stored to 50 GB, which remains the same over time.
Additionally, Buterin proposed using a precompile mechanism: these ethereum contracts that contain logic implemented directly by clients instead of EVM code.
“Precompilations are used successfully today, especially to enable ZK-SNARK-based applications with elliptic curve precompilations.”

The most significant update since the migration to the proof-of-stake (PoS) algorithm due to the merger implemented the possibility of blob transactions.
