Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, is working on a project called “The Splurge” with the goal of bringing the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) to its ultimate state. The project aims to reach an “endgame state” for the EVM. This development is significant as it could potentially enhance the functionality and efficiency of the EVM, which is a crucial component of the Ethereum blockchain. Buterin’s efforts demonstrate his commitment to constantly improving and evolving the Ethereum ecosystem.
