Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, has unveiled the Ethereum development roadmap for 2024, outlining six core priorities to guide the platform's future. These priorities include "The Merge," which aims to solidify Ethereum's transition to a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, making it more energy-efficient. "The Surge" focuses on scalability, targeting 100,000 transactions per second across Ethereum and Layer 2 networks. "The Scourge" tackles economic centralization risks, particularly in areas like MEV (Miner Extractable Value) and liquid stake pooling. This roadmap reflects Ethereum's commitment to innovation, scalability, and decentralisation as it continues to evolve in the blockchain space.
