0:00 – 0:03
The video opens with a breathtaking aerial shot soaring above endless emerald meadows blanketed with colorful wildflowers sparkling with morning dew. Warm golden sunlight spills across the landscape as a magnificent flock of hundreds of birds suddenly rises into the sky, flying gracefully in synchronized formations. The camera follows the birds from behind, revealing distant forests, winding rivers, and rolling hills beneath soft drifting clouds.
0:03 – 0:06
The camera gently descends toward a magical mushroom village nestled in the meadow. Colorful mushroom houses with giant red, blue, purple, and golden caps line winding cobblestone paths. Tiny chimneys release curls of smoke while birds circle overhead. Flower gardens bloom around every home, and glowing lanterns sway gently in the breeze.
0:06 – 0:09
The camera glides smoothly through the village streets. Tiny fairy-like people are busy with their daily lives—bakers remove warm bread from stone ovens, gardeners water vibrant flowers, merchants arrange colorful fruits and handmade goods, blacksmiths hammer tiny tools, children laugh while chasing butterflies, and musicians perform cheerful melodies in the village square. Rabbits, squirrels, and birds wander peacefully among the villagers.
0:09 – 0:12
The camera follows a sparkling stream flowing through the village beneath tiny wooden bridges. A rustic waterwheel slowly turns while butterflies, dragonflies, and flower petals drift through the air. The flock of birds sweeps dramatically overhead, casting moving shadows across the mushroom rooftops and lush green meadows as sunlight filters through the clouds.
0:12 – 0:15
The camera rises high above the enchanted valley for a breathtaking panoramic finale. The entire mushroom village glows beneath the golden sunrise while the flock of birds forms elegant patterns across the brilliant blue sky. Tiny villagers wave from below as flower petals dance in the breeze. The scene ends with a peaceful cinematic view of the magical world bathed in warm morning light, fading out on an atmosphere of wonder and serenity.

If we want to make the Lean Ethereum consensus chain aggressively more "lean", and add strong validator privacy (ZK-unlink deposit from staking activity from withdrawal, and re-anonymize stakers every day), here is a path:

https://t.co/Gdee7tE53R

[vitalik.eth @VitalikButerin]

Two weeks ago, Ethereum researchers met in Berlin to continue charting the protocol's long-term trajectory, following along discussions with client teams in Svalbard in April.

The updated strawmap is at https://t.co/9e2AQ6rhz6, and I attached a picture of it to this post.

My own high-level takeaways:

* "Lean Ethereum" is not a single one-shot upgrade, it is a collection of improvements that will come online to the Ethereum network over the course of three or four years. But make no mistake, this IS the third major iteration of Ethereum in the same way that the Merge was the second. Almost every major piece of the protocol will be replaced:

- Verification through recursive STARKs, rather than direct re-execution. Recursive STARKs become an enshrined first-class core component of the protocol
- Replacing everything quantum-vulnerable with quantum-safe alternatives
- Consensus: decoupled available chain and finality, one or two-round finality. Theoretically optimal security properties, simpler than today, and faster than today
- Multidimensional gas
- State: not just tree structure, but what *types* of state are available
- Changes to client architecture
...

At the same time, simplification, cleanup and future-proofing. And this will all be done in a way that minimizes disruption to existing application. We've done this before (the Merge), we can do it again.

* H-star (aka Hegota) is probably Ethereum's last thematically "pre-Lean" fork. Starting from I-star, most of everything we do will have a very strong "Lean" feel to it in one way or another.

* Privacy is no longer an afterthought, it is a first class goal. When designing Frames, the mempool, additions to the state tree, we explicitly ask the question "okay, how do quantum-safe, intermediary-free privacy protocol transactions go through this, and what is the overhead?"

* Formal verification of everything for security.

* FV also makes us much more comfortable with canonicalization (having pieces of the protocol that are directly defined as a piece of bytecode expressed in some language). evm-asm is being written in part to become a canonical proof system for the EVM.

* Quantum safety has shifted up a LOT in priority. This adds a lot of work (eg. finalizing a quantum-safe blobs design has become urgent; this work has already been ongoing for months)

* Probably the single most disruptive part of the plan is the changes to state. There is growing consensus around leaving present-day-style "dynamic state" mostly unchanged, but scaling it only a medium amount, and adding new types of state that are more scalability-friendly (eg. no need for builders to sync/store all of it) but more restrictive, and that will scale a large amount.

eg. possible Ethereum in 2030: 2 TB of present-day-style (dynamic) state, and 100 TB of new-style (scalable but restrictive) state

This "new-style" state would work very well for ERC20s, NFTs, many defi use cases, but not eg. highly "central" objects like Uniswap contracts, or onchain order books, or other complex things (which are crucial for Ethereum but which only take up a small percentage of state)

Hence, it will not be *necessary* to rewrite any apps, but it will be *very cost-effective* to eg. rewrite an ERC20 token into a newer design that uses a new type of UTXO storage that is currently being explored, so that it will have >10x lower txfees.

Design of these new state types (current ideas: keyed nonces, ring buffers, UTXOs, statically accessible state, temp state) is an area where we will need a lot of feedback from application developers (incl. privacy-friendly application developers) and probably several rounds of rethinking and iteration.

* In the context of a much larger total state size, we need to figure out the incentive issues around who stores this state and what motivates them to. Even saying "each node stores 1%" is not good enough - why do they store that 1% and why are they willing to serve it? This is being elevated as a first-class research area.

* Ethereum will need to have a "VM" other than EVM in one form or another - at the very least, we need something like leanISA for recursive STARKs - and the gains are large in exposing it to users so that we support programmable privacy and better scalability. Right now, the most likely contenders are leanISA and RISC-V.

My own ideal is that in this world, we adjust the protocol so that the EVM becomes a high-level-language compiler-level feature, and the protocol only "sees" RISC-V / leanISA directly. But this is still far away.

* Gas limit increases, blob increases and slot time decreases will happen many times over the next ~5 years. We expect a large gas limit increase with Glasterdam. Each step of increased scale or decreased slot time is a matter of getting to the point where it is safe to do it, which comes from a combination of client optimization and protocol changes.

Ethereum is CROPS.

Ethereum is scaling.

Ethereum is reinventing itself.

Onward.
