Ethereum visionary Vitalik Buterin is pushing for bold advancements to make the network faster, more efficient, and environmentally friendly. His goal: a secure and scalable Layer 1 blockchain ready to support a thriving digital economy while maintaining its decentralized spirit. To achieve this, he emphasizes four key conditions: performance under extreme scenarios (ZKS proof), high gas limit scalability, stateless nodes for secure local access, and data retention limitations. Buterin acknowledges the impact of technical innovation on Ethereum’s sustainability, particularly energy efficiency, aiming for a 10-100x increase in its gas limit. He also advocates for decentralized accessibility by promoting
