⚡️Vitalik @VitalikButerin has released a new long-term roadmap for ETH, defining Lean Ethereum as Ethereum's third major overhaul: The first was the early PoW Ethereum, The second was PoS Ethereum after The Merge, And the third will focus on recursive STARKs, quantum security, privacy-first, state layering, consensus simplification, and formal verification—a long-term protocol transformation expected to take 3-4 years. Each module alone is a massive undertaking, requiring years of R&D, testing, and governance coordination. Vitalik shared a potential vision for 2030: 2 TB of current-style dynamic state + 100 TB of new scalable state. Ethereum isn’t content with just patching up the existing architecture. Instead, it’s preparing to reinvent the protocol’s foundation without significantly disrupting current applications. This isn’t just ordinary scaling—it’s about creating new state types to support larger-scale assets, accounts, and application data. This means Ethereum’s application architecture, L2 positioning, wallet design, zk infrastructure, and the long-term narrative of ETH will all fundamentally change!
