Seven Technical Pillars for Ethereum’s Long-Term Survival
-

To get there, Buterin outlined seven major areas Ethereum must improve. These include full quantum resistance, scalable architecture through technologies like Zero-Knowledge EVMs and Peer Data Availability Sampling, and a gas system that avoids security pitfalls.
He also emphasized the need for censorship-resistant block building, stronger account models for signature validation, and defenses against centralization. Buterin suggested Ethereum should aim to meaningfully complete at least one of these areas each year to maximize both technological and social resilience.
