Vitalik Buterin: Ethereum needs further improvements in decentralization and scalability to realize the vision of a world computer.

PANews reported on January 1st that Vitalik Buterin stated in an article on the X platform that Ethereum has made several advancements in 2025, including increasing the gas cap, increasing the number of blobs, optimizing node software quality, and zkEVM achieving a performance milestone. Through zkEVM and PeerDAS, Ethereum has taken a significant step towards becoming a new and more powerful blockchain.

Vitalik Buterin pointed out that Ethereum still faces challenges and needs to take more action to achieve its established goal of building a world computer as the core infrastructure of a free and open internet. This vision aims to develop decentralized applications that operate without fraud, censorship, or third-party interference, and possess the property of continuing to function even if the original developers disappear or centralized service providers (such as Cloudflare) fail. To achieve this goal, Ethereum needs to improve usability, scalability, and decentralization simultaneously at both the blockchain layer (including runtime and communication software) and the application layer.
