AI could speed up Ethereum's upgrade roadmap by decades, says co-founder Vitalik Buterin.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin revealed that artificial intelligence is significantly accelerating the development of Ethereum's protocol upgrades, potentially cutting decades off the timeline that might have extended to 2040 or 2050. AI is heavily involved in complex tasks like formal verification using the Lean 4 programming language, reducing manual code auditing. The upcoming Hegota upgrade in 2027 is expected to be Ethereum's last traditional fork before shifting focus to advanced cryptographic methods and AI-driven formal verification. This acceleration could change developer roles and increase reliance on AI, though it also raises security concerns that formal verification aims to address.

Ethereum's development acceleration through AI is the story's subject. For readers following cryptocurrency markets, here is Pluang's snapshot as of Oct 11, 2026 17:21 WIB: Out of 50 major cryptocurrencies, 20 rose and 29 fell. Cardano (ADA) traded at Rp4.408 with a 1-day change of -3.31%, The Sandbox (SAND) at Rp1.169 with -3.15%, and Enjin Coin (ENJ) at Rp563 with -2.67%.
