Overview
- In a New Year post on X, Buterin said 2025 advances made Ethereum faster, more reliable, and closer to a shared computing platform.
- He said success requires achieving two goals simultaneously: global usability and genuine decentralization.
- He highlighted milestones including higher gas limits, increased blob counts, improved node software, zkEVM performance gains, and progress on PeerDAS.
- He warned builders not to chase the “next meta,” citing tokenized dollars, political memecoins, or artificially padded blockspace.
- He called for real-world stress testing so users would not notice if major infrastructure providers go offline or are compromised.
