Ethereum Unveils Streamlined Development Plan Focused on Scalability

The simplified Ethereum roadmap emphasizes the scaling of BLOB objects and enhancing L1 performance, as revealed by Ethereum Foundation co-executive Tomasz Stańczak.

yes, mostly this based on loads of convos

other things are secondary mostly (not because less important but should naturally happen as the result of the above — existing culture and values in Ethereum are massively value generating)@rudolf6_ is the roadmap czar

He emphasized that the network will continue issuing tokens on the first layer, support the development of real-world assets (RWA) and stablecoins, and enhance network communication and security.

Among the long-term goals are:

• integration of AI agents;
• implementation of autonomous machines;
• ensuring privacy in human interactions;
• creating an open-source system.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin commented on the strategy in response to criticism. He hinted that updates might now occur more swiftly due to developers’ readiness to accelerate the pace of hard fork implementations.

“most prefer to dance kumbaya” is vibes, not reality.

From where I’m standing, there’s basically universal agreement among researchers that gas limit increase features are top priority for glamsterdam.@adietrichs and others in ER have this as their primary focus: delayed…

Buterin also mentioned upcoming upgrades — Pectra and Glamsterdam. The latter will implement priority changes such as increasing the gas limit.

According to Buterin, if the work is completed earlier, the updates will be implemented before the formal launch of Glamsterdam.

In February, Ethereum developers discussed accelerating network hard forks. However, the Pectra upgrade was later postponed to May 7.
