Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has proposed a significant cultural and technical shift for the Ethereum blockchain, aiming to simplify its architecture to enhance accessibility for developers and users alike. Buterin highlighted that the current complexity of Ethereum's infrastructure poses challenges for onboarding new developers and maintaining projects.

Drawing inspiration from Bitcoin's straightforward design, Buterin suggests that Ethereum should strive for similar simplicity. He believes that reducing the blockchain's complexity will lower development and maintenance costs, boost performance, and facilitate broader adoption. This initiative is part of Ethereum's transition into a "rebuild era," focusing on decentralization and scalability through Layer 2 and Layer 3 solutions.
