V God’s latest statement: Ethereum’s ambition is not about being “fast,” but about who can’t turn it off at all

Brothers, if you’re still judging it by Ethereum’s slow transfer speed, your perspective might really be narrow. At the Hong Kong Web3 Carnival 2026, Vitalik made a statement again, setting the tone for Ethereum: Ethereum’s core goal is not to become the fastest chain, but to become the “world computer” that is the safest, most decentralized, and cannot be shut down by anyone.

V God proposed a very bold concept — “Exit Testing.” What does that mean? It means that even if all core developers leave tomorrow and stop working, the Ethereum network should still run steadily for decades, just like a hammer that remains reliable despite no maintenance. This requires its security not to depend on any company or team, which is the true belief in decentralization.

To achieve this century-long plan, the subsequent roadmap focuses on three key areas:

🥇 Using AI for formal verification: directly generate mathematical proofs with AI to find bugs in protocol code, ensuring the software’s underlying security is absolutely hardcore.

🥈 Pushing for quantum resistance: although quantum computers haven’t arrived at our doorstep yet, efforts are underway to optimize quantum-resistant signature algorithms, preparing for cryptographic security for the next 100 years.

🥉 Betting on ZKVM: planning to make ZKVM the mainstream for verification by 2028, achieving large-scale scalability without sacrificing decentralization, so even smartphones can verify the entire chain.

In summary, don’t always focus on TPS. In the crypto world, short-term speed is important, but long-term survival is what matters. Only a truly cycle-resistant underlying system can support your digital assets.
