Vitalik Buterin, alongside other experts, discussed future improvements and strategies for Ethereum at a recent panel. The focus is on scaling issues and maintaining the network's decentralization.
Proposed Improvements for Ethereum
Buterin outlined several key areas for improvement, including delayed execution, block-level access lists, network optimizations, and distributed history storage.
Approach to Decentralization and Scalability
During the discussion, Buterin emphasized the importance of pausing Ethereum's development to evaluate the state of the network's decentralization. "At that point, it would be a good time to take a breather," he said.
Strategy for Using ZK-EVM
Buterin also pointed out that while some in the Ethereum community advocate for bolder moves, he favors a measured approach grounded in the readiness of technologies like Zero-Knowledge EVMs. "Once ZK-EVMs really become mature enough that we can rely on them, then go, go, go—even beyond that," he added.
Vitalik Buterin's strategy illustrates the balance between ambitions for scaling Ethereum and the necessity of maintaining its decentralized nature, which is a crucial aspect of its future development.
