"Step one of winning is surviving… then the next step is getting Ethereum actually used at a much higher scale." - @VitalikButerin
Vitalik says @ethereum is making sure it is fully secure against quantum computers and AI, so it can scale into prediction markets, decentralized social, identity and DAOs.
He also says private transactions that cost more than 300,000 gas today will get much cheaper and become quantum safe.
I asked him about the next decade of Ethereum.
> What used to be hard or expensive on Ethereum that will become easy and cheap in the next 18 to 24 months? > What becomes newly practical for users and builders over the next 3 to 5 years of lean Ethereum? > What does winning look like for Ethereum in the next decade, and what early signals would show it? > How does Ethereum's edge with institutions compound as more assets move on-chain?
Full Q&A👇
ETH is the asset that will secure the future.

Weekly apps recap 🥧 (19–25 Oct)
▸ ETH active addresses nearly doubled to 4.9M (+95%)
▸ 1,092 apps active across Ethereum Mainnet + L2s
▸ 42% (456) on 2+ chains, up 22 on the week
▸ Polymarket led on transactions (14.5M) and fees paid ($299k)

> we could still ultimately do Lattice stuff for accounts, wallets, etc. through a precompile if it is proved to be AI-secure
The ideal route to support everyone's cryptography is imo through 8288. You make whatever signature you want locally, then STARK it, and then it gets included through the stark aggregator machine. Don't need any calldata onchain. Ethereum can then never add a new precompile again.
ETH was @Ethereum's first killer app, and it still sits at the top of the leaderboards today.
30d ETH is:
▸ #1 for active addresses inc. L2 apps
▸ #1 for transactions on Ethereum L1
▸ #2 for transactions inc. L2 apps
▸ #2 for gas fees on Ethereum L1
▸ #6 for gas fees inc. L2 apps
It's only right that we give ETH its own app page:

Tracking simple wallet-to-wallet transactions sending ETH, this does not include transactions sending ETH to smart contracts belonging to other apps.
Ethereum has spent its first decade proving that a decentralized network can operate at global scale.
I asked @ethereumJoseph what he thinks the next decade is really about, and what @ethereum needs to become as adoption expands beyond the crypto industry👇
In the past 7 days, @0xPolygon has had more stablecoin transactions* than Ethereum L1, more than Base and Arbitrum combined. If you're doubting Polygon, you're not paying attention!
* Wallet-to-wallet transactions involving stablecoins, excluding contracts such as DeFi.

Honestly, it's hard to keep up with all the teams building on Ethereum. But we have been working hard to increase our coverage.
We tracked 434 active Ethereum apps last week and 843 active apps in the wider Ethereum ecosystem.

Pretty wild - until August 31st, no L2 *ever* flipped Ethereum Mainnet in chain fees on the 7d-average.
Until @RobinhoodCrypto completely flipped the chart and 10x'd it.
Actually, scrap that... Why don't we taper issuance by validator count rather than % of ETH supply?
This would incentivise adoption of max effective balance.
