Another Major Update Is Coming to Ethereum: Vitalik Buterin

AnnouncedEthereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin shared details about the "Lean Ethereum" roadmap, which he describes as the third major long-term evolution of the Ethereum protocol.
According to Buterin, this process will consist of a series of major protocol changes that will be rolled out gradually over the next three to four years, rather than a one-off update.
Buterin stated that Ethereum researchers met in Berlin two weeks ago to reassess the long-term direction of the protocol, following discussions with client teams in Svalbard in April. Buterin said that Lean Ethereum represents the third major phase for Ethereum after Merge.
One of the key aspects of the roadmap will be the use of recursive STARKs instead of direct re-execution in the verification
process. The goal is to make recursive STARKs a native and fundamental verification component of the Ethereum protocol.
Another critical topic is quantum security.
Buterin stated that replacing cryptographic structures vulnerable to quantum attacks on Ethereum with quantum-secure alternatives is now a much higher priority. He specifically mentioned that making the blob design quantum-secure has become urgent, and that work in this area has been ongoing for months.
Significant changes are also planned in the consensus structure under the Lean
Ethereum initiative. According to Buterin, ETH will move towards a simpler, faster, and theoretically more secure structure that separates the usable chain from the finality mechanism, providing finality in one or two rounds.
The roadmap highlights a multi-dimensional gas model, changes to the client
architecture, simplification of the protocol, and making it more future-proof. Buterin stated that this transformation will be designed to minimize disruption to existing applicati#gStocksTokenizedStocksLive #WeakNFPShakesRateHikeOdds #PredictWorldCup🇧🇷vs🇳🇴 #ETHBreaks1700 #MetaSellsComputeTriggersChipSlump $ETH ‌$ETH ‌
