"Still gotta be Ethereum. Once I buy back all the tokens, it’s time to get to work. Lean Ethereum is dropping a ton of info this time. According to the original post, it’ll roll out gradually over the next 3–4 years, positioning itself as Ethereum’s third major iteration—on par with the Merge back in the day. This round will touch a lot of the foundational components. Validators will shift to recursive STARKs, and quantum security is being bumped up to high priority. The consensus layer will decouple data availability chains from finality, aiming for faster and simpler processes. Gas will become multidimensional, and changes will follow for client architecture, state structure, and private transaction pathways. What I’m most interested in is the state. The original post shared a possible 2030 scenario: 2TB of current dynamic state, plus 100TB of new scalable state. Existing apps won’t be forced to rewrite, but if ERC20, NFTs, and many DeFi projects migrate to the new state model, transaction fees could drop by over 10x. This shift will throw a lot of decisions at app developers. In the future, deploying an app won’t just be about EVM compatibility—you’ll also need to think about state type selection, privacy pathways, proof systems, and VM configurations. The protocol layer is slimming down, so the application layer will need to better understand the underlying resources. Lean Ethereum isn’t a single upgrade package—it’s more like a protocol-level overhaul. Ethereum is still scaling, but it’s also redefining itself." #Ethereum #LeanEthereum #Crypto #Blockchain
