Vitalik Responds to Ethereum's "Slow Death" Comments: System Upgrade to Be Achieved Through 4 Major Changes

2026-02-21 05:51

BlockBeats News, February 21st, Recently, community user dasha proposed the idea of gradually phasing out the current Ethereum through fragmentation (such as L2, application-specific chains) and rebuilding a pure cypherpunk chain from scratch based on RISC-V.


Vitalik Buterin responded, rejecting the idea of a slow death for the current Ethereum, and instead planning to build a "cypherpunk-in-spirit non-ugly Ethereum" as a tightly coupled extension of the current system to achieve seamless interoperability and migrate the existing system through smart contracts within 5 years. Vitalik emphasized that through progressive upgrades similar to the previous "merge" upgrade, there would be 4 subsequent major upgrades, including state tree optimizations, Lean consensus, ZK-EVM verification, and VM changes, to enhance censorship resistance, ZK-friendliness, and simplicity.
