Vitalik: Ethereum's Current Roadmap Adds New Directions Including Strong Privacy, Post-Quantum Scalability, and Native Rollups
Odaily News: Vitalik posted on X platform, stating that he has updated the 2023 roadmap diagram, overlaying the items listed at that time onto their corresponding positions in the current Strawmap. Overall, there is significant overlap between the two, but the order of some items has been rearranged—for example, quantum security has been prioritized higher; some items have been deprioritized, such as VDF and many EVM improvements; and some items have been replaced by better constructions, such as Verkle evolving into unified BT and then PBT, with state expiration being replaced by new state types. However, the most notable change is that the Strawmap includes some entirely new additions not present in the diagram, as these were not in the 2023 roadmap, reflecting shifts in priorities. The main additions include: - Giving first-class priority to strong privacy, including keyed Nonces and recent roots, parts of FOCIL, lean privacy pools, and Wormholes; - Advancing scalability around post-quantum scenarios, including leanSPHINCS signatures and aggregation, and zkzk frames; - Pushing forward the Lean specification to assist formal verification. Full formal verification of everything is now feasible thanks to modern AI; - Blob and Gas futures, a concept that did not exist in 2023; - Native Rollups—back in 2023, SNARKs were far from mature enough to consider this direction; - Opening up a more expansive design space for "the future of EVM." zkzk frames already imply that the protocol will offer users a non-EVM ISA, with the main current candidates being leanISA and RISC-V. These ISAs are simpler, more modern, and more efficient than the EVM. Once introduced, they can be opened up to all developers, transforming the EVM into an intermediate representation (IR) built on top of these ISAs, rather than a built-in feature that significantly increases base protocol complexity. However, deeper exploration in this area is still premature even for the Strawmap; - New state types are not just a replacement for state expiration, but a fundamentally different paradigm for how Ethereum scales. He noted that a common theme across the scalability space is reflected in two new ideas—state types and zkzk frames: rather than trying to maximize the extension of all Ethereum activity, it is better to create specialized mechanisms with restrictive properties that are therefore better suited for scalability, while carrying the heaviest load from current and future users and applications, such as token transfers, swaps, and privacy protocols. Another common theme is treating STARKs and AI-accelerated formal verification as first-class objects, and building Ethereum's technological future upon them. Recursive STARKs appear at multiple layers of the protocol, and one specific primitive, "aggregate to union verified dependencies," is expected to be used in three locations in the protocol: the execution layer, consensus layer, and data layer. Its safety can only be ensured thr
THORChain Resumes Trading After $10.7 Million Attack
Odaily, the decentralized cross-chain liquidity protocol THORChain has resumed trading after being down for over five weeks following a May attack. Signing, swapping, liquidity provider operations, and redemptions have all been restored.On May 15, blockchain investigator ZachXBT and security firm PeckShield identified that the protocol had likely been exploited, prompting THORChain to halt trading. The vulnerability resulted in a loss of approximately $10.7 million from one of its six Asgard vaults, while the other five vaults were unaffected.THORChain stated that each vault has now been verified, and every key share has been cross-checked. Native Monero swaps are currently undergoing end-to-end testing and will be launched subsequently. (The Block)
MoonPay Launches First Native Crypto Headless Payment Platform Supporting One-Click Crypto Purchases via Apple Pay
