Vitalik Buterin Says Hegota Will Likely Be Ethereum's Last 'Normal' Fork

Ethereum’s 2030 vision shifts work to cryptographic proofs. Who verifies the result?

Vitalik Buterin’s Sept. 27 vision describes Ethereum moving from a system in which every verifier repeats much of the work toward one where data can be sampled and execution can be checked with compact proofs. One part, PeerDAS, has already…

Vitalik Buterin Says Hegota Will Likely Be Ethereum's Last 'Normal' Fork

In a new essay, the Ethereum co-founder says upgrades after next year's fork will turn the network into a hybrid of blockchain and advanced cryptography, with 4- to 8-second slots by 2030.

Ethereum News: Vitalik's 2030 Plan for 8-32s Finality

The Ethereum news worth reading this weekend came from Vitalik Buterin's own blog rather than a price feed. In an essay published on 27 September titled "The Cryptographic World Computer", the Ethereum co-founder set out where the protocol is heading by 2030, and drew a hard line at the next scheduled fork. Ether traded around $2,648 on Monday, down about 1.5% on the day and up roughly 8% over the past month. The headline for anyone holding or b…

Hegotá Could Become Ethereum’s Last “Normal” Fork, Buterin Says

The initiation of Ethereum’s evolution “from being just a blockchain to being something much more powerful” was highlighted by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, who characterized PeerDAS as its foundational milestone. The network’s final “normal” fork ahead of development shifting toward optimized consensus, recursive STARKs, quantum-safe cryptography, and automated formal verification might be Ethereum’s Hegotá upgrade, […]

Vitalik Buterin Says Hegota Will Be Ethereum's Last 'Normal' Fork

In a new essay, Buterin sets out a roadmap in which zero-knowledge proofs, faster finality, multi-party block building and formal verification turn Ethereum into what he calls a cryptographic world computer by around 2030.
