Introducing Mame Inu — The Last Shiba

[Shenron $MAME INU @Shenroneth]

@mamebnb The last survivor of Dog Planet has awakened. Mame Inu is here to bring back real meme culture🐕

[MAME @mamebnb]

Before fake hype and capsules took over the meme universe, there was Dog Planet the home of the original meme culture.

A world where legendary meme dogs like MILO, BabyDoge, and FLOKI built memes around fun, loyalty, and community.

Then Pump Planet arrived.
Dog Planet was destroyed.

But before the planet burned away, BabyDoge and FLOKI saved one final survivor.

Mame Inu. "The last Shiba"

Years later, Mame awakens in a fake meme world ruled by manipulation, endless hype, and capsules. Nobody remembers the real meme culture anymore.

But Mame does.
And now he’s here to bring it back.

[Ivan on Tech 🍳📈💰 Head Trader @ Bullmania @IvanOnTech]

VITALIK DECLARING GENERAL PURPOSE "ETH COPY PASTA" L2s DEAD IS VERY BULLISH $ETH!!!

No more L2s stealing users
No more L2s stealing liquidity
No more L2s stealing fees

If you stop listening to ETH Podcast propaganda (the dudes have heavy allocations in L2s) you will understand that focusing on scaling L1 is how ETH can reach $10,000 fast in the next cycle

[vitalik.eth @VitalikButerin]

There have recently been some discussions on the ongoing role of L2s in the Ethereum ecosystem, especially in the face of two facts:

* L2s' progress to stage 2 (and, secondarily, on interop) has been far slower and more difficult than originally expected
* L1 itself is scaling, fees are very low, and gaslimits are projected to increase greatly in 2026

Both of these facts, for their own separate reasons, mean that the original vision of L2s and their role in Ethereum no longer makes sense, and we need a new path.

First, let us recap the original vision. Ethereum needs to scale. The definition of "Ethereum scaling" is the existence of large quantities of block space that is backed by the full faith and credit of Ethereum - that is, block space where, if you do things (including with ETH) inside that block space, your activities are guaranteed to be valid, uncensored, unreverted, untouched, as long as Ethereum itself functions. If you create a 10000 TPS EVM where its connection to L1 is mediated by a multisig bridge, then you are not scaling Ethereum.

This vision no longer makes sense. L1 does not need L2s to be "branded shards", because L1 is itself scaling. And L2s are not able or willing to satisfy the properties that a true "branded shard" would require. I've even seen at least one explicitly saying that they may never want to go beyond stage 1, not just for technical reasons around ZK-EVM safety, but also because their customers' regulatory needs require them to have ultimate control. This may be doing the right thing for your customers. But it should be obvious that if you are doing this, then you are not "scaling Ethereum" in the sense meant by the rollup-centric roadmap. But that's fine! it's fine because Ethereum itself is now scaling directly on L1, with large planned increases to its gas limit this year and the years ahead.

We should stop thinking about L2s as literally being "branded shards" of Ethereum, with the social status and responsibilities that this entails. Instead, we can think of L2s as being a full spectrum, which includes both chains backed by the full faith and credit of Ethereum with various unique properties (eg. not just EVM), as well as a whole array of options at different levels of connection to Ethereum, that each person (or bot) is free to care about or not care about depending on their needs.

What would I do today if I were an L2?

* Identify a value add other than "scaling". Examples: (i) non-EVM specialized features/VMs around privacy, (ii) efficiency specialized around a particular application, (iii) truly extreme levels of scaling that even a greatly expanded L1 will not do, (iv) a totally different design for non-financial applications, eg. social, identity, AI, (v) ultra-low-latency and other sequencing properties, (vi) maybe built-in oracles or decentralized dispute resolution or other "non-computationally-verifiable" features
* Be stage 1 at the minimum (otherwise you really are just a separate L1 with a bridge, and you should just call yourself that) if you're doing things with ETH or other ethereum-issued assets
* Support maximum interoperability with Ethereum, though this will differ for each one (eg. what if you're not EVM, or even not financial?)

From Ethereum's side, over the past few months I've become more convinced of the value of the native rollup precompile, particuarly once we have enshrined ZK-EVM proofs that we need anyway to scale L1. This is a precompile that verifies a ZK-EVM proof, and it's "part of Ethereum", so (i) it auto-upgrades along with Ethereum, and (ii) if the precompile has a bug, Ethereum will hard-fork to fix the bug.

The native rollup precompile would make full, security-council-free, EVM verification accessible. We should spend much more time working out how to design it in such a way that if your L2 is "EVM plus other stuff", then the native rollup precompile would verify the EVM, and you only have to bring your own prover for the "other stuff" (eg. Stylus). This might involve a canonical way of exposing a lookup table between contract call inputs and outputs, and letting you provide your own values to the lookup table (that you would prove separately).

This would make it easy to have safe, strong, trustless interoperability with Ethereum. It also enables synchronous composability (see: https://t.co/9jy6v1X6Fw and https://t.co/gZmu3YjebM ). And from there, it's each L2's choice exactly what they want to build. Don't just "extend L1", figure out something new to add.

This of course means that some will add things that are trust-dependent, or backdoored, or otherwise insecure; this is unavoidable in a permissionless ecosystem where developers have freedom. Our job should make to make it clear to users what guarantees they have, and to build up the strongest Ethereum that we can.

Ethereum Enter God Mode in 2026

Vitalik Buterin shares about his vision for 2026 as a big turnaround year for the Ethereum blockchain:

1. Bringing Back User Control (Self-Sovereignty and Trustlessness)

❌Problem
Ethereum was designed so anyone could run their own "node" (a computer that checks and verifies the blockchain independently). But over time, it got harder to do this on a regular laptop.

✅Solution
In 2026, tech like ZK-EVM (a way to prove transactions are valid without revealing everything) and BAL (likely a tool for better node efficiency) will make it easy again to run a full node at home. This means you can verify the entire Ethereum network yourself, without trusting anyone else.

2. Verifying Data You Get

❌Problem
When you use Ethereum apps (dApps), you often connect through "RPCs" (remote procedure calls, like messengers that fetch data from the blockchain).

✅Solution
Helios is a tool that lets you double-check the data from these RPCs is real and not tampered with, so you don't have to blindly trust the provider.

3. Privacy Improvements

✅Solution
Tools like ORAM and PIR (advanced privacy tech) will let you ask for specific data from the blockchain without anyone knowing what you're looking for. This stops your activity from being tracked and sold to third parties (like advertisers or data brokers).

Privacy UX: Making private payments as simple as public ones—no extra hassle.

Privacy Censorship Resistance: Ways to send private transactions that can't be blocked or censored, using standards like ERC-4337 (for smarter wallets) and upcoming features, without needing public "broadcasters" that could spy or interfere.

4. Better Wallets

❌Problem
Crypto wallets often use "seed phrases" (secret words to recover your account). If you lose them or they're stolen, you could lose everything.

✅Solution
Social Recovery Wallets and Timelocks: These let you recover your wallet with help from trusted friends or time delays (e.g., a hacker can't steal immediately), but without creating backdoors that companies like Google could exploit.

5. Safer App Interfaces

❌Problem
Many dApps rely on central servers for their user interfaces (UIs), which can go offline, get hacked, or lock you out.

✅Solution
Shift to onchain UIs with IPFS (a decentralized file system): Apps stored directly on the blockchain or distributed networks, so they're always available and can't be hijacked easily.

.@VitalikButerin just made a bold declaration: ETHEREUM HAS SOLVED THE BLOCKCHAIN TRILEMMA

He credits a new combination of technical upgrades that are working together to push the network’s scaling limit – without sacrificing decentralization or security.

Today, we’re exploring where Ethereum is headed next. 👇

~~ Article by @JackInabinet ~~

🔍 Ethereum’s Scaling Future

All networks make tradeoffs between decentralization, security, and scalability.

While peer-to-peer file sharing platform BitTorrent is highly decentralized and very scalable, it has no single source of truth that forms network consensus, providing weak security guarantees.

Although Bitcoin achieves strong decentralization and security guarantees, the network has an extremely slow throughput of approximately 7 transactions per second.

And while the Solana network delivers Bitcoin-like security at much faster speeds, the network’s hefty hardware requirements restrict participation to commercial-quality node operators, limiting decentralization.

The blockchain trilemma constrained the development of a balanced blockchain that simultaneously optimizes for decentralization, security, and scalability in each of these examples.

Yet, Vitalik Buterin believes Ethereum can achieve where others have failed using zkEVMs and PeerDAS.

🔒 What are zkEVMs?

Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machines (zkEVMs) are a type of scaling solution that executes Ethereum transactions offchain and proves their correctness back onchain using cryptographic zero-knowledge proofs.

Instead of individually submitting transactions to the Ethereum L1, zkEVMs bundle thousands of transactions together in a proof, which accounts for the results of transactions while circumventing the need for blockchain computation. This design increases scalability by using offchain execution, while preserving Ethereum-grade security via onchain proof verification.

Vitalik characterizes contemporary zkEVMs as “alpha stage,” claiming they enjoy production-quality performance, but require safety work. He expects their full benefits to emerge over the next 4 years, with the first opportunities to run zkEVM nodes occurring sometime in the new year.

📡 What is PeerDAS?

Peer-to-Peer Data Availability Sampling (PeerDAS) is Ethereum’s latest leap in data scaling. It was adopted to mainnet on December 3, 2025, and served as the headline improvement of Ethereum’s recent Fusaka upgrade.

Rollups need to publish transaction data to Ethereum so the network can independently verify state transitions, and PeerDAS dramatically reduces the cost of making this data available by allowing nodes to sample small pieces of data from peers, rather than downloading entire data blobs.

PeerDAS (live today on mainnet) allowed Ethereum to increase the dedicated “blob” storage space for data availability with no changes to the hardware requirements for nodes that want to validate the Ethereum L1.

🧭 Where to Next?

Over the next four years, Vitalik believes that Ethereum can become the first network to fully conquer the blockchain trilemma. Such a breakthrough is not anticipated to be the outcome of a single sudden achievement; rather it is expected to be the gradual result of sustained progress over time.

Ethereum has already expanded data availability through PeerDAS, and while developers expect initial zkEVM node experiments to begin this year, Buterin doesn’t anticipate zkEVMs will become a dominant method of block validation until later this decade.

Although execution risk remains, should Vitalik’s scaling vision materialize, Ethereum could very well redefine what’s possible for decentralized systems, offering a model where security, decentralization, and scalability reinforce one another instead of competing.
