#以太坊技术升级 Vitalik's New Year message suggests that Ethereum is still staying true to its original purpose, not swayed by various hot narratives. Progress in technology such as Gas optimization, Blob scaling, and zkEVM performance breakthroughs are indeed advancing, but what he emphasizes is quite interesting — it's not about chasing the hot trends, but about building Ethereum into a truly decentralized application infrastructure.

In simple terms, there are two core needs: scalability and genuine decentralization. It sounds straightforward, but achieving both at the foundational and application layers simultaneously is quite challenging. However, from a technical progress perspective, directions like PeerDAS and zkEVM are indeed moving forward, and we might see more tangible results by 2025.

In the crypto world, there have been many hot topics over the past two years, with various Meme coins and tokenized dollars taking turns to hype. Vitalik's message is very clear — we won't follow this trend. Stay true to our own path, make applications truly user-friendly and secure, and users will stay long-term. This attitude is still worth watching, even if it might not be as flashy in the short term.
