New privacy and data management technologies have effectively solved long-standing blockchain scalability challenges, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said.
However, he warned that the full implementation of security for these developments is still several years away.

Buterin sets a 2030 road map to ensure comprehensive security
in Manifesto On January 3 on X, Buterin said Ethereum’s integration of virtual machines is defined by the daemon It can change the capacity of the network.
This change is driven by mating, he added ZK-EVMs with PeerDAS data distribution method.
“These are not simple improvements; they transform Ethereum into a new, more powerful type of decentralized network,” he said.
He claimed that this combination solves the “blockchain trilogy” – the historical engineering difficulty of achieving decentralization, security and high bandwidth simultaneously.
Buterin compared the developed architecture to “BitTorrent with consensus”, comparing it with the model of Bitcoin that prioritizes decentralization, but has difficulties in transferring data.
With the new promotions, he said that ethereum It can now handle data loads similar to massive file sharing networks while maintaining the security of the decentralized ledger.

“The triple problem is solved – not on paper, but with live code, running, half of which (data availability sampling) is today on the main network, and the other half (ZK-EVMs) is the quality of performance and performance today – security is what remains,” he said.
However, the road to implementing this vision stretches into the distant future.
While Buterin insisted that the technology had reached “production-quality performance,” he acknowledged that significant work remained to ensure the system’s security.
According to his timeline, ZK-EVM will only become the primary method of block verification between 2027 and 2030. These systems allow to verify transactions faster and cheaper without exposing the underlying data.
Meanwhile, The network plans to implement gradual updates.
This year, Buterin expects the fuel limit to increase. New developments enable this by separating transaction proposals from block builders and expanding the amount of work each block can handle.
In the future, Buterin set a goal of “distributed construction in blocks”. This is a system in which no single entity structures the entire series of transactions.
He added that the distribution of this authority reduces the risk of central supervision and ensures that transactions are handled more uniformly in the regions.
“The ideal long-term holy grail is to reach a future in which the whole block is never in one place. This will not be necessary for a long time, but in my opinion, it is worth the effort to at least have the ability to do it,” wrote Buterin.
This technical change comes at a time when Ethereum continues to face intense competition Blockchains are faster and less expensive, putting pressure on developers to accelerate the implementation of these next-generation scaling solutions.
