Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin announced that the upcoming Hegota fork in 2027 will likely be the network's last 'normal' fork using familiar technology. Beyond 2027, Ethereum aims to evolve into a system that relies more on cryptographic proofs and decentralized infrastructure rather than traditional blockchain methods, enabling faster transaction finality (8 to 32 seconds), improved privacy, and lighter verification processes. This shift allows work to be divided and verified efficiently, reducing costs and increasing scalability. Buterin's vision for 2030 includes a network that outgrows its original blockchain identity, focusing on advanced proofs and optimized consensus mechanisms while maintaining decentralization.
