Vitalik Buterin outlined an Ethereum redesign intended to turn the network into a cryptographic world computer by 2030, combining blockchain consensus with advanced proof systems and computation performed outside the main chain. He said Hegota, described as next year's upgrade, would be the last fork under Ethereum's current model, after which recursive STARKs, automated formal verification, leaner consensus and quantum-resistant cryptography would become central to development. Under the proposed architecture, nodes would verify proofs instead of re-executing all data, with PeerDAS data sampling supporting availability checks and zero-knowledge proofs moving further into Ethereum's base layer. Buterin projected four-to-eight-second slots and eight-to-32-second finality, while parallel processing and EIP-8288 signature aggregation could improve scalability and reduce the burden of post-quantum cryptography. FOCIL, privacy-focused mempools, distributed state and history storage, and account-controlled authorization are also part of the broader roadmap, although efficient proving and network-state management remain unresolved engineering challenges.
