#数字资产市场动态 Vitalik Buterin recently shared his views on the future of Ethereum on social media — 2026 will be a turning point. In that year, Ethereum's main focus is actually one thing: to recover what has been lost.

How exactly to do it? The engineering team has targeted several tough issues. Using ZK-EVM and BAL technology to make running nodes less burdensome, launching Helios to verify RPC data — in simple terms, enabling ordinary people to participate in validation without fully relying on exchanges or large institutions. In terms of privacy, ORAM and PIR technologies will become standard, truly enhancing user data privacy. For wallet security, social recovery wallets and time lock features will make funds more secure. On-chain application experience also needs upgrades, including UI/UX improvements and IPFS integration.

Buterin's core view is straightforward: over the past decade, in order to rapidly scale and implement applications, Ethereum has made some compromises in node decentralization, application decentralization, and data privacy. Now is the time to correct these directions. It’s not a quick process, but only then will the ecosystem truly represent Ethereum in the full sense. $ETH $DUSK $ZK
