Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has outlined a 3–4 year “Lean Ethereum” roadmap that would overhaul core verification, security assumptions, and state management—an effort that could reshape the network’s long-term scalability and fees as competition among smart-contract platforms intensifies.
According to local reports citing Wu Blockchain, Buterin’s plan centers on introducing ‘recursive STARKs’ as a native verification component. STARKs (Scalable Transparent Arguments of Knowledge) are cryptographic proofs used to verify computation efficiently; recursion allows proofs to be… Read more
