ChainCatcher News, Vitalik Buterin stated that Ethereum is approaching a solution to the long-standing “Blockchain Trilemma” at the actual operational level. He pointed out that the two key upgrades, PeerDAS and ZK-EVM, are making Ethereum a “brand new, more powerful decentralized network.”
Vitalik said that PeerDAS went live on the mainnet in 2025, and although ZK-EVM is still in the stage of security enhancement, it has already reached production-level performance and is expected to be used on a small scale in the network starting in 2026. Vitalik further outlined that in the coming years, Ethereum will gradually achieve a balance of decentralization, security, and high throughput by increasing the gas limit, adjusting the state structure, and introducing more verification methods based on ZK-EVM. He emphasized that this is not just a theoretical concept but a long-term engineering achievement based on deployed code.
Vitalik also reviewed that Ethereum has invested nearly 10 years to address data availability and scalability issues, and this vision is now gradually coming to fruition.
