ETHEREUM 2026: THE REBELLION

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Ethereum's 2025 achievements included increased gas limits, blob count, node software quality, zkEVM performance milestones, and PeerDAS. In this thread, Vitalik Buterin lays out what needs to be done going forward to make it the world's blockchain. The mission is to build a world computer serving as infrastructure for a free, open internet with decentralized apps that run without fraud, censorship, or third-party interference. Ethereum is “the rebellion” against subscription services and centralized overlords. To achieve this lofty vision, it needs to be usable at scale and actually decentralized at both blockchain and application layers.
