Episode notes
Five-Year Roadmap
- Ethereum's ambitious roadmap can be completed in five years.
- This involves batching the hardest roadmap items into a single fork, like the Beamchain.
L1 Performance Boost
- Ethereum's L1 performance will increase incrementally through improvements in execution, data, and consensus.
- ZK-proofs will enable faster and more efficient execution by proving the entire chain.
ZK-Geth
