VITALIK UPDATED ETHEREUM'S BIG PLAN 🚨👀📅
On 10 August 2026, Vitalik put his 2023 plan next to the new Strawmap (public draft plan for Ethereum's next years).
4 product changes for main Ethereum and every L2. ⚙️
1) Privacy on main Ethereum 🔐
Today normal transfers show who sent, who received, and how much. Big institutions dislike that.
Goal: move money without publishing every detail.
EIP-7805: harder for a validator to leave your private transaction out of the next block while it sits in the mempool (pool of unconfirmed transactions).
EIP-8141: wallets can switch digital signature methods (math proof you approved the send) for privacy and later quantum safety.
Target window: late 2026 to 2027 (Hegotá period).
2) Quantum safety ⚛️
A future quantum computer could break today's signature math.
Path: EIP-8141 for user wallets first, then safer validator voting and STARK/hash-based proofs. Core target around 2029.
3) Faster main chain 📈
Today main Ethereum is about 25-30 transactions per second.
Strawmap draft: L1 about 10,000/s class; all L2s about 10 million/s class.
Glamsterdam (late 2026 target) prepares safer capacity increases.
Plan is not delete L2s. Plan is stronger L1 + hard L2 scale.
4) L2 future 🔗
Old story: L2s mainly for cheaper fees (Base, Arbitrum, Optimism).
New story: L1 faster + private + quantum-safe; pure fee-clone L2s get hurt; L2s with real extra product still win.
EIP-8079 (native rollups, still draft) may make some L2s closer to mainnet security.
If main Ethereum becomes faster and more private, will most users still need an L2 every day, or only for special apps? 👇
