Ethereum

Major Developments in the Ethereum Protocol:

Ethereum is on the verge of significant advancements. New technologies like zkEVM (a method to increase transaction speed and security) have helped strengthen Ethereum's Layer 1 (L1) while simultaneously improving scalability, security, and censorship resistance. At the same time, Layer 2 (L2) solutions are becoming more robust, relying on Ethereum as their trust base.

This means Ethereum is preparing to operate as a global computer for decentralized applications (dApps) worldwide.

These advancements are expected to significantly increase Ethereum’s user base and enable the network to expand its value and technology on a global scale.

However, to achieve this, the way Ethereum is designed, developed, and governed needs to be reevaluated. This is a complex process and must adapt to new challenges and demands.
