Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin announced on January 3 that the network has achieved a breakthrough in solving the blockchain trilemma, with zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machines reaching production-grade performance and PeerDAS now live on the mainnet.
The milestone marks the culmination of a decade of development that began with early data availability sampling research, enabling Ethereum to simultaneously achieve decentralization, consensus, and high bandwidth—three properties that historically required trade-offs.
Buterin outlined a roadmap through 2030 that includes gas limit increases starting in 2026 via mechanisms like BALs and ePBS, with ZK-EVMs expected to become the primary block validation method by 2027 to 2030.
