Many researchers are enthusiastically receiving Ethereum’s ambitious plan to reinvent itself in the coming years, although several say the biggest challenge will not be deciding what to build, but rather how quickly it can be done.
At the beginning of last week, Ethereum cofounder Vitalik Buterin published an updated version of “Lean Ethereum Straunmap,” a long-term vision that would reshape almost all of the blockchain’s key aspects. The Straunmap was originally published in February. Buterin’s updated proposal calls for radical changes aimed at making Ethereum faster, cheaper to operate, more private, and more resistant to future threats such as quantum computers.
Although the roadmap is still years away from becoming reality, early reactions suggest that many of Ethereum’s core developers agree with its direction.
Eli Ben-Sasson, cofounder of StarkWare, described the roadmap as “a lot of good things, some things unclear, and still some problems.”
He praised Ethereum’s decision to put recursive STARKs—the cryptographic technique designed to make network verification much easier—at the center of its future, saying that this marked a major shift from the previous years, when much of the Ethereum community was skeptical about the technology.
