Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin announced that Ethereum is evolving into a new type of decentralized network driven by ZK-EVM reaching alpha-level production performance and the PeerDAS feature from the upcoming Pusaka upgrade. This new network aims to merge decentralization, consensus, and high bandwidth, overcoming limitations seen in older network types like torrents and Bitcoin. Buterin outlined a roadmap from 2026 to 2030 envisioning rising gas limits, network stabilization, and ZK-EVM becoming the default block validation method.
