Ethereum Unveils Strategic Roadmap for Next Decade

The Ethereum Foundation has published a long-term strategic roadmap for the development of Ethereum, outlining goals and objectives for the next decade. The 'strawmap' presents a unified vision for the evolution of the blockchain, integrating changes in consensus, execution, and data availability layers.

According to the plan, Ethereum aims to reduce transaction completion time to under one minute and increase processing capacity to gigabyte-scale execution. Additionally, the document highlights the importance of advancing privacy and security features through post-quantum cryptography and rollups.

The proposal is intended as a tool for discussion and coordination among developers and governance participants, rather than a definitive plan. It marks a shift towards a more structural perspective on Ethereum's evolution, moving beyond short-term hard forks.
