The Ethereum Foundation unveiled a simplified roadmap led by Co-Executive Director Tomasz K. Stańczak, focusing on scaling Layer-1 via blobs, asset issuance (RWA, stablecoins), and enhanced security. The plan emphasizes minting assets directly on Layer-1, potentially increasing demand for ETH gas fees. Simultaneously, Ethereum aims to advance AI, autonomous machines, and personal privacy. While this approach differs from the original Layer-2 scaling roadmap, it introduces new possibilities for Ethereum’s ecosystem.
