Ethereum Foundation Reveals Comprehensive Roadmap for Blockchain Development
- The Ethereum Foundation’s roadmap, called Strawmap, outlines updates through 2029.
- Seven major hard forks are planned at six-month intervals to improve network functionality.
- The next update, Glamsterdam, is expected in the second half of 2026.
- Key focuses include enhancing transaction speed to 10,000 transactions per second (TPS) and implementing post-quantum cryptography.
- Additional goals include achieving up to 10 million TPS through Layer-2 scaling solutions.
This roadmap emphasizes the evolution of Ethereum’s architecture towards improved efficiency and security against emerging technological threats. Vitalik Buterin highlights a focus on reducing slot times and finalization delays as part of this transformation.
The roadmap aims for significant upgrades in transaction capabilities and security measures by integrating advanced technologies like zkEVM and post-quantum cryptographic solutions. The goal is to facilitate a more scalable and secure Ethereum ecosystem.
