Ethereum's L1 Will Be Scaled By 10x Over The Next Year, Says Vitalik Buterin

  • Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin announced at ETHGlobal Prague that Ethereum's Layer 1 will scale tenfold within about a year.
  • Buterin proposed this scalability upgrade as a long-term solution following the 2022 Merge and highlighted the need for a cautious, security-focused approach.
  • The upgrade aims to increase block sizes to enhance network throughput, improving Layer 2 efficiency and reducing transaction fees amid lower on-chain activity.
  • Etherscan data shows ETH burned dropped from a peak of 4,274 in mid-January to below 1,000 recently, while ETH trades slightly above $2,500 with minor price movement.
  • Buterin stated the team will pause after the upgrade to assess decentralization progress, with the scaling expected to support broader adoption and stronger decentralized applications.
