Vitalik just laid out this big Lean Ethereum vision and it’s wild how much they’re rethinking the whole thing.

They’re aiming to roll out upgrades across the next few years that simplify the protocol while cranking up speed, security, and privacy all at once.
Think recursive STARKs for verification, full quantum resistance, and privacy features built straight into the core instead of as add-ons.
New state designs could slash fees for tons of apps without forcing everyone to rewrite code, plus faster finality and higher gas limits.
Positioned as Ethereum’s next major chapter after The Merge, with a detailed strawmap showing the path forward.
Honestly feels like they’re future-proofing it for real long-term dominance.
Super pumped to watch this unfold.
