Vitalik Buterin outlines a two-part plan to overhaul Ethereum's execution layer with a binary state tree and eventually move beyond the Ethereum Virtual Machine
Quick Take — Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin laid out a detailed case for two sweeping execution layer changes …

Now, account abstraction. We have been talking about account abstraction ever since early 2016, see the original EIP-86: https://github.com/... Now, we finally have EIP-8141 ( https://eips.ethereum.org/... ), an omnibus that wraps up and solves every remaining problem that AA was

This is quite an impressive experiment. Vibe-coding the entire 2030 roadmap within weeks. Obviously such a thing built in two weeks without even having the EIPs has massive caveats: almost certainly lots of critical bugs, and probably in some cases “stub” versions of a thing

Ethereum will disproportionately benefit from AI vs alt L1s. “Bitcoin will absorb all innovation” was a meme that never came true. But I think it will be true for Ethereum. Ethereum's biggest risk has always been technological obsolescence by faster-moving competitors. But if

Two weeks ago I made a bet with @VitalikButerin that one person could agentic-code an @ethereum client targeting 2030+ roadmap. So I built ETH2030 ( https://eth2030.com/ | https://github.com/...). 702K lines of Go. 65 roadmap items. Syncs with mainnet. Here's what I found.

Thank you @VitalikButerin. You're absolutely right on the caveats - pure-Go crypto is far slower than production libraries, consensus is wired but never battle-tested against live attestations, and several opcodes are locked behind geth's unexported internals. This is not a
