Ethereum 2030: Buterin's Vision of Cryptographic World Computer
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin outlined a detailed technical roadmap for the network through 2030. The plan transitions Ethereum from a classic blockchain to a hybrid architecture combining consensus with advanced cryptography. Instead of every node downloading and recomputing all transactions, participants will verify cryptographic proofs (SNARKs) and use data sampling (PeerDAS), lowering hardware requirements and increasing decentralization. Key upgrades include 'Hegota' (planned 2027), the last upgrade recognizable to early developers, and the introduction of recursive STARKs for massive scalability. The roadmap also addresses censorship resistance with FOCIL (Fork-Choice-Enforced Inclusion Lists), aiming to reduce block times from ~12 seconds to 4–8 seconds and finality to 8–32 seconds. While Buterin tempers expectations on raw speed, the plan responds to competitive pressure from Solana and aims to bring scaling back to the base layer while maintaining decentralization. A major challenge remains parallel state access.
Glamsterdam Testnet Announcement
Glamsterdam follows the Fusaka upgrade, advancing Ethereum's L1 scaling roadmap with enshrined proposer-builder separation, block-level access lists, and changes to gas pricing. The network upgrade is scheduled to activate on Sepolia at epoch 353,024, slot 11,296,768 (October 6, 2026, 13:53:36 UTC).
EF Protocol: The Hegotá EIP Opinion Post and Tier List
The EF Protocol cluster published its first unified tier list evaluating 62 EIPs proposed for the Hegotá upgrade, marking a shift to a single coordinated opinion across the cluster.
