Vitalik Buterin Pushes Ethereum Plan to Slash Quantum-Safe Privacy Costs
Buterin wants EIP-8288 in I-star, the upgrade after Hegota, and adopting it would make RISC-V Ethereum's canonical instruction set.

Buterin wants EIP-8288 in I-star, the upgrade after Hegota, and adopting it would make RISC-V Ethereum's canonical instruction set.

A new mempool design could make quantum-safe signatures and private transactions dirt cheap on Ethereum.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has pushed back against predictions that artificial intelligence could trigger a 50% Bitcoin crash within two years. The debate began after Silicon Valley investor and AI-risk commentator Liron Shapiro said he sees a 50% probability that Bitcoin will fall more than 50% over the next two years because AI undermines what […]

Buterin says Bitcoin can handle network-layer attacks without needing the kind of broad social consensus required for deeper protocol changes.

The 60% applies to an undated outcome for all three primitives; only at least one, probably SNARKs, is tied to decade-end.
Vitalik Buterin rejects a 50% AI-driven Bitcoin crash call and says 90% of his net worth already takes the opposite side.

Vitalik Buterin says crypto holdings worth 90% of his net worth put him against a forecast of an AI-driven Bitcoin crash within two years.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has rejected a prediction that artificial intelligence could undermine Bitcoin’s security badly enough to trigger a 50% price crash.

Host of the Doom Debates podcast, Liron Shapira, put a 50% confidence claim on the table. BTC prices could crash more than 50% in the next two years because AI will undermine what people believe are Bitcoin’s security guarantees. Shapira is not necessarily predicting a broken hash function; he is

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin says he is taking “the opposite side” of a forecast that artificial intelligence will cut bitcoin’s price in half within two years, and he has roughly 90% of his net worth riding on it. The Wager on the Table Liron Shapira, an angel investor who hosts the Doom Debates podcast and […]

Buterin's stance highlights confidence in cryptographic security, suggesting AI's role in blockchain will enhance defenses, not just threats.

Vitalik Buterin rejected a prediction that AI security threats could crash Bitcoin by over 50%, citing upgrade options and resilient cryptography.

Buterin's optimism suggests Bitcoin's technical resilience could bolster confidence in its long-term stability despite emerging AI threats.

Advancements in cryptographic primitives could revolutionize data privacy and computational efficiency, impacting security and tech innovation.

Vitalik Buterin says separating transaction actions from dependencies could help Ethereum process checks in parallel and lower costs.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin says a new generation of transaction formats could lay the groundwork for major Ethereum scaling gains by separating transaction execution from the conditions that must be verified beforehand.

Ethereum's adoption of Bitcoin's scaling innovations highlights the importance of cross-chain collaboration for blockchain evolution and efficiency.

Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, praised the progress of UTXO research by Bitcoin developers while explaining Ethereum’s new scaling direction. This shows how the new hybrid architecture can be created using Ethereum’s account system along with the UTXO state system. Such an architecture will enable various activities to take
Ethereum wants to hyperscale by copying how Bitcoin tracks coins, and Vitalik Buterin credits Bitcoiners for it.

Vitalik Buterin credits Bitcoin’s Utreexo as Ethereum researchers explore native UTXOs and recursive STARKs to scale without heavier nodes.
