Roadmap Overview: Vitalik Buterin's 'Lean Ethereum' roadmap, presented at a Berlin meeting, signifies a new phase in Ethereum protocol development, expected to roll out through staged protocol changes over the next three to four years.
Long-Term Goals: The roadmap sets five long-term objectives, including faster L1 finality, gigagas L1 throughput of 10,000 transactions per second, teragas L2 scaling of 1GB per second, post-quantum cryptographic security, and private L1 transfers, aimed at enhancing Ethereum's overall performance and security.
Core Verification Mechanism: The roadmap emphasizes making recursive STARKs a central part of Ethereum's verification model, aiming to replace direct re-execution with proof-based verification, thereby improving network efficiency and throughput while reducing the burden on each node.
Privacy and Security: The roadmap incorporates post-quantum security and privacy as core goals, gradually replacing cryptographic assumptions vulnerable to quantum threats, and integrating private transfers at the base layer, highlighting Ethereum's strategic importance in future architecture.

About ETH

Ethereum is a decentralized open-source blockchain system that features its own cryptocurrency, Ether. ETH works as a platform for numerous other cryptocurrencies, as well as for the execution of decentralized smart contracts.Ethereum was first described in a 2013 whitepaper by Vitalik Buterin. Buterin, along with other co-founders, secured funding for the project in an online public crowd sale in the summer of 2014. The project team managed to raise $18.3 million in Bitcoin, and Ethereum’s price in the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) was $0.311, with over 60 million Ether sold. Taking Ethereum’s price now, this puts the return on investment (ROI) at an annualized rate of over 270%, essentially almost quadrupling your investment every year since the summer of 2014.The Ethereum Foundation officially launched the blockchain on July 30, 2015, under the prototype codenamed “Frontier.” Since then, there has been several network updates — “Constantinople” on Feb. 28, 2019, “Istanbul” on Dec. 8, 2019, “Muir Glacier” on Jan. 2, 2020, “Berlin” on April 14, 2021, and most recently on Aug. 5, 2021, the “London” hard fork.Ethereum’s own purported goal is to become a global platform for decentralized applications, allowing users from all over the world to write and run software that is resistant to censorship, downtime and fraud.
