Ethereum is about to replace itself: Inside the Lean Rebuild
Vitalik's Lean Ethereum roadmap would replace nearly every part of the protocol in 3-4 years: STARKs, quantum-safe crypto, new storage, and beyond the EVM.

Vitalik's Lean Ethereum roadmap would replace nearly every part of the protocol in 3-4 years: STARKs, quantum-safe crypto, new storage, and beyond the EVM.

The Ethereum co-founder said AI recognized his intellectual habits, ending a two-week public challenge to identify an anonymous contribution he made.

Vitalik Buterin confirms an AI challenge winner who traced his anonymous EIP-7503 rewrite through reasoning style.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has published a “Lean Ethereum” roadmap that would replace nearly every major component of the protocol over the next three to four years, describing the effort as the network’s biggest transformation since the Merge. Looking to Forge a Better-Defined Future Buterin published the roadmap on X recently, days after Ethereum researchers […]

Buterin outlined a two-step plan to shift Ethereum's state management to validators and replace per-epoch balance updates with ZK proofs.

Vitalik Buterin is again pressing on one of Ethereum’s most awkward user-experience problems: Layer 2 networks may be cheaper than mainnet, but the wider ecosystem still feels fragmented, unpredictable, and too hard for normal users to navigate. T


Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has unveiled a multi-year roadmap that places native privacy, quantum resistance, and protocol simplification at the center of Ethereum’s next major upgrade, describing it as the network’s largest transformation since The Merge. According to a roadmap…

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin laid out an updated "Lean Ethereum" roadmap in a post on X Saturday, describing a three-to-four-year overhaul he called the network's third major protocol iteration since the 2022 Merge. The plan follows a researcher meeting in Berlin and would replace direct…

Nearly every core piece of the protocol will be rebuilt over three to four years, with quantum safety and privacy moved front and center.
Ethereum could get a major privacy upgrade under Vitalik Buterin's latest proposal.

Ethereum price is trading at $1,780 as Vitalik revealed the network's biggest roadmap since the Merge, which sends ETH's prediction higher.


The roadmap gives institutions a stronger settlement story, but also a clearer checklist for doubt.

He said quantum safety has "shifted up a LOT in priority" and that Hegota, slated for later this year, will likely be Ethereum's last "pre-Lean" hard fork.

Part of the Ethereum Foundation’s plan to make Ethereum more private and scalable is to introduce a new virtual machine, with leanISA and RISC-V among the top candidates.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin published a detailed technical breakdown on Monday, calling cryptographic obfuscation the “final boss of cryptography” and laying out why solving it would let developers build nearly any trustless protocol imaginable. What Obfuscation Actually Does Most people in crypto are familiar with encryption, which hides data in transit, and zero-knowledge proofs, which […]
