- Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has shared a comparison between Ethereum’s earlier roadmap and a newer L1 “Strawmap,” highlighting privacy and quantum safety as higher-priority research areas — This should not be treated as a final Ethereum governance decision
Summary
The post points to several notable changes, including more emphasis on native privacy requirements, keyed nonces, shielded pools, quantum safety, and a move away from Verkle trees toward Poseidon binary trees. The L1 Strawmap is a planning and research tool, not a hard fork commitment. Still, when Buterin highlights privacy and quantum safety, the ecosystem pays attention. The post is research direction, not a binding governance decision.
