10-YEAR 'LEAN ETHEREUM' VISION: 10K TPS, 100% UPTIME, EVM 2.0

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Justin Drake of the Ethereum Foundation laid out a “lean Ethereum” ten-year blueprint targeting 10,000 TPS at 1 gigagas/sec on Layer 1 and 1 million TPS at 1 teragas/sec on Layer 2, while preserving 100% uptime and decentralization. The plan calls for “bold upgrades” across all L1 sublayers, including Beacon Chain 2.0 for consensus, post-quantum Blobs 2.0 for data, and an RISC-V-based EVM 2.0 for execution, plus hash-based cryptography for quantum resistance. Emphasizing minimalism, modularity, formal verification, and provable security, the vision aims to deliver “performance abundance” under unforgiving continuity constraints.
