Ethereum Foundation Unveils 10-Year Strategy for Network Development

Following the 10th anniversary of Ethereum’s mainnet launch, the Ethereum Foundation — the organization behind the blockchain — has presented a long-term development plan for the next decade.

The document was authored by leading Ethereum developer Justin Drake. He began by highlighting the protocol’s 100% uptime since launch, the diversity of clients, and 35.7 million ETH worth $130 billion locked in staking.

According to Drake, Ethereum is now ready to become the “foundation of the internet of value.”

“[The blockchain] must outlive everything — nation-states, quantum computers. No matter what happens. Call it fortress mode. If the internet works, Ethereum works. If the world is online, the world is on-chain,” the developer stated.

Acceleration

Drake identified the generation of new resources as a key necessity for the network. Scaling Layer 1 and block expansion are top strategic goals.

He expects a minor performance increase over the next 6–12 months. In the long term, he envisions Ethereum entering “beast mode”:

  • for Layer 1 — consumption of 1 gigagas/s (enabling 10,000 TPS);

  • for Layer 2 — 1 teragas/s (1 million TPS).

To further decentralization, the integration of real-time zkVM at the execution layer and data availability sampling (DAS) at the data layer is planned. Drake also envisions “full chain verification on every browser, wallet, and phone.”

Upgrades and Security

Drake says the team is working to enhance the protocol’s three core components:

  • Consensus — the implementation of Beacon Chain 2.0 is planned, bringing enhanced security and decentralization along with near-instant finality. Previously, this initiative was called Beam Chain.

  • Data Layer — will be upgraded to BLOB 2.0. The upgrade includes post-quantum BLOBs and granular object sizing for easier calldata development.

  • Execution Layer — introduction of EVM 2.0, a minimal SNARK-friendly instruction set that boosts performance while retaining compatibility with the existing virtual machine.

“[All blockchain components] have been rethought from first principles. Together, they unlock both ‘fortress’ and ‘beast’ modes. The goal is performance abundance while preserving immutable continuity, maximal rigidity, and refreshing simplicity,” Drake added.

As the ideal defense against emerging threats — quantum computing and the rise of SNARK protocols — the developer pointed to hash-based cryptography.

As a reminder, on May 7 the Ethereum network activated the major Pectra upgrade. In July, it was announced that the next hard fork, Fusaka, will roll out in November.

ChatGPT, Grok and Claude Predict Where Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP and Solana Could Be by December 31

2026 has been a difficult period for the cryptocurrency market: since the start of the year, each of the five largest crypto assets by market capitalisation has posted double-digit losses. Among this group, Solana ($SOL) has suffered the most, losing more than 47% of its value since January 1. To understand where the market may head next, we asked several leading modern artificial intelligence (AI) models to forecast the year-end prices of $BTC, $ETH, $BNB, $XRP and $SOL. Their answers were, to put it mildly, intriguing.

Assessing Whether Whale Demand Can Absorb Ethereum’s $168 Million ETF Outflow

The series of outflows from Ethereum ETFs continues to weigh on demand. Spot $ETH ETFs recorded another weekly outflow of $168.2 million, extending the withdrawal streak to four consecutive weeks. With institutional demand declining, Ethereum has lost a source of liquidity that had previously absorbed supply during market downturns.
