Today, Ethereum Foundation core researcher and 'Chief Architect' Justin released the Ethereum 2029 strategic plan, outlining 5 Polaris indicators. These correspond to improving the speed of the Ethereum mainnet, increasing throughput, expanding data, quantum computing, and private transactions. The plan involves upgrades every 6 months until completion in 2029. Overall, the feasibility seems quite strong, with the entire Ethereum Foundation focusing its R&D resources fully back on L1. As for the L2s, they’re on their own now. The specific roadmap is shown in Image 1. However, to some extent, it’s a pity that in this latest roadmap, there’s no so-called opportunity for ecosystem participation. This is in contrast to Image 2, which is the 2022 roadmap Vitalik announced at the time, centered around L2 and divided into 6 phases. Back then, many VCs and project teams treated it as a guide, following it step by step to fill in the gaps outlined by the Ethereum Foundation. Whether or not the work was actually done, a lot of tokens were issued. Although historical documents don’t hold much practical reference value now, Vitalik’s roadmap back then did significantly fuel the VC token frenzy.
