Vitalik Buterin Unveils 'Lean Ethereum' Roadmap for 2030

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has released a long-term roadmap titled 'Lean Ethereum,' aiming to transform the network into a general-purpose computing layer by 2030. The plan includes increasing transaction throughput by approximately 1,000 times, integrating zero-knowledge proofs for privacy and quantum resistance, and optimizing data storage to handle 2TB of dynamic state data alongside 100TB of scalable storage. While the vision for a crypto-verified infrastructure has received broad developer support, some critics have expressed concerns regarding the implementation timeline.
