Ethereum Proposals Suggest Potential Quantum Resistance and Simplification Through Lean Ethereum and RISC-V Framework

Key Points

1. The Lean Ethereum proposal introduces zero-knowledge virtual machines to quantum-proof Ethereum's execution layer and adopts a RISC-V framework to simplify the consensus layer.

2. Data availability sampling is a technique that verifies small, random pieces of a block, reducing storage requirements and bandwidth usage while improving network efficiency.

3. The RISC-V framework simplifies Ethereum's consensus layer, enhancing security and reducing technical complexity.

4. Vitalik Buterin supports simplifying Ethereum's tech stack and advocates for the RISC-V architecture to improve network resilience and speed.

5. Experts like XinXin Fan propose hash-based solutions for quantum resistance in blockchain networks.
