Vitalik Buterin shares what he hopes to accomplish in the next 10 years with Ethereum
- ‘Finish’ the technical roadmap
- Make privacy a default part of the experience
- Have some form of self custody
- Formal verification on everything
- Finance happening on Ethereum by default
The beacon chain genesis happened four years ago on Dec 1, 2020. With a modest 0.5M ETH staked on day one, the parallel PoS chain provided zero immediate benefits to users. And yet the seed blossomed to become the strongest foundation blockchains have ever seen:
→ 10K consensus participants
→ $125B economic security
→ economic finality via L1 slashing
→ 51% attack recovery via L0 slashing
→ 100% uptime
No other PoW or PoS chain comes close—the gap is immense. This is the power of long-term thinking, of taking the long and hard road.
Looking ahead, there is a tremendous opportunity to cement Ethereum as the settlement layer for the internet of value. The beacon chain is far from perfect. There is a lot of work on a years-long upgrade journey.
We want improved censorship resistance and MEV handling. We want smaller staking deposits, better delegation, faster finality. We want smarter issuance. We want full chain validation accessible to smartwatches, we want post-quantum security. In parallel to the consensus layer (CL) we want full danksharding at the data layer (DL) and native rollups at the execution layer (EL).
I believe Ethereum can get it all. Many L1 improvements will ship incrementally every year for years to come. Some improvements like chain snarkification and post-quantum security will likely benefit from a holistic redesign.
To complement L1 health upgrades, L2s will provide amazing performance improvements in months not years. Fast UX? Study ping-latency preconfs. Low fees and unbounded throughput? Study horizontal scaling of execution and DA. Synchronous composability? Study shared sequencing and real-time proving.
The future of is bright. I invite you to get involved. Ethereum may just be humanity's most ambitious and exciting decentralised computing project.
Everyone waiting for $100k BTC doesn't realize that the play is ETH at the lowest ETHBTC RSI level in history, the risk reward is unmatched.
The market doesn't realize it yet. But it will soon.
Nobody scammed retail more than Solana.
SOL’s market cap almost doubled, yet its price still did not make an ATH.
This is the definition of inflation. A hidden tax every Solana fanboy pays.
There is only one thing that really matters in the ApeCoin DAO: APECHAIN
Wasteful spending on stupid shit undermines the mission. It has to stop.
In the next few weeks you are going to see multiple proposals to radically change the DAO.
Get rid of the working groups, the committees, the Special Councils. Trim the fat, simplify the process, & move everything on-chain.
APECHAIN is all that matters. It's time to align the whole DAO behind it.
No more dumb shit.
