Where Will Ethereum Be in 2030?
Key PointsEthereum is planning a series of bold technological upgrades through the year 2030.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has shared a forward-looking vision for the Layer 1 blockchain network by the year 2030. Buterin suggests that Ethereum will undergo significant transformation, potentially leading to a reevaluation of its classification. At that point, he posits, Ethereum may transcend the bounds of being merely a blockchain and evolve into a "cryptographic world computer".

He believes that the blockchain upgrade, identified as "Hegota", slated for the upcoming year, will be the last conventional upgrade. Following this, he anticipates a series of intricate upgrades aimed at enhancing various aspects of the network. These enhancements will focus on improving efficiency, throughput capacity, user privacy, and quantum security.
