Next 10 Years of Ethereum
summary
Ethereum is framed as a transition from a “verifiable computer” to a verifiable economy with zero-knowledge proofs and RISC V zkVMs powering native rollups and tokenized assets. Specifics: a claimed $300B ecosystem, billions in stablecoin monthly volume, an L1 client team of ~40 and a 500‑engineer group building a ZK VM; a client reaches 10% away from ref performance and a target of 1 gigas gas limit. Problems called out: many L2 stacks don’t run, AWS outages expose sequencer centralization, state growth and compiler maintenance risks.
