I am excited to announce that I will be joining Tempo. This last year has been a turning point for crypto, where we have finally seen the outlines of our vision being materialized. While payments used to be front and center in the early days of crypto, I see a special opportunity

- Some points on this: 1. The current process of upgrading Ethereum IS BROKEN. Builders need long-term commitments to capacity, otherwise they cannot build on Ethereum. They need to know what the plan is in 5 years. So I hope that we can finally agree to timelines in the core devSo finally we are talking about how the current plan is just way too unambitious. If Ethereum wants to win, we need to be ambitious.vitalik.eth.limoEndgame
- It's very ironic to call it "staking" when there is no slashing. What's at stake? Solana has close to zero economic security at the moment.SOL just flipped ETH in "staking market cap".
- I have decided to resign from my Eigenlayer advisorship. While I believe that the role was negociated in good faith and with the aim of making sure that Eigenlayer is well aligned with Ethereum, I understand that the perception of this relationship has been different and that for
- So finally we are talking about how the current plan is just way too unambitious. If Ethereum wants to win, we need to be ambitious.Replying to @notnotstormIMO this isn't even close to aggressive enough. We need to figure out how to pull up the 2027+ timeline to early 2026. cc @VitalikButerin
- A lot of people making jokes about WETH. Please be aware it may not be obvious to outsiders that it's completely different from bridged assets and there is literally almost zero risk. I think it would be better to mark these more clearly as jokes.
- A bit more on the reasons for my EIP to scale Ethereum L1 100x over 4 years:
- I think this is what everyone is feeling and I disagree to an extend but nevertheless the situation is tricky. Currently Ethereum is making almost zero fees from both L1 and L2 transactions *because it chooses to*: If we were a company, we would put a reasonable price tag onThere's a path to fix Ethereum L2 fragmentation and horrible UX. superchain interop, intents etc. It's gonna happen, eth community is galvanized around unifying Ethereum and they'll fix it. But I still don't see how all this L2 activity gets reflected on Ethereum mainnet. Layer
- I'm thinking about a new sharding design, where instead of having independent proposers for each shard, all shard blocks in one slot are proposed together with the beacon block. This leads to a major simplification of the sharding design 1/n
- This is great! Celo is showing the way forward. We need to make sure that Ethereum will provide a cheap and secure data availability layer, so chains like Celo can use native data availability asap.After many months of research, I'm excited to share cLabs' proposal for turning Celo into an Ethereum L2! This is the start of Celo's return home to Ethereum! x.com/CeloOrg/statusโฆ
- Max was very helpful in finally opening the Overton window to speak about stuff that isn't perfect in Ethereum land. "but he fudded my bags" yeah you know I don't care about how your bags fare over the next two weeks. In the long term, we need to build a good product, can't do
- Decentralization does not work like this. No economic incentives will automatically guarantee our values such as immutability or censorship resistance -- the values of the Ethereum community do this. Our technology, as well as the incentives built into our systems, are a tool forReplying to @kunalgoel @dankrad and 2 othersHoping on social agreement holding in a trustless system is not smart. The entire premise of crypto is that it's economically guaranteed. Hand shakes are not enough to contain staking and restaking.
- OK guys, good time to get back to buidling! We need * Layer 2 ready * EIP1559 * Eth2 running Then we can have a real party :)
