Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin announced the 'Lean Ethereum' roadmap, a major upgrade plan spanning 2026-2029 focused on enhancing quantum resistance, privacy, and protocol efficiency. The plan includes developing quantum-secure infrastructure, embedding privacy at the base protocol level, and possibly adding a secondary virtual machine alongside the current EVM. These changes aim to improve security, scalability, and reduce transaction costs significantly by 2030. However, some community members doubt the Ethereum Foundation's ability to meet the proposed multi-year timeline given past delays and recent budget cuts.
