Ethereum’s own Justin Drake just dropped a “lean Ethereum” manifesto for the next decade: push the base layer to 10,000 TPS (that’s not a typo) and Layer 2 networks to 1 million TPS, all while staying fully decentralized and up 100% of the time. He’s talking Beacon Chain 2.0, an RISC-V-powered EVM 2.0, post-quantum blobs, hash-native zk-VMs and hash-based signatures—basically a full tech facelift to future-proof Ethereum against quantum threats and data bloat.
But it’s not just code; it’s a vibe. Drake’s minimalism-meets-modularity approach (think “Jiro Dreams of Sushi”) champions simplicity, encapsulated complexity and a healthy diversity of views across the community. With new EF co-directors steering the ship, this lean vision could be the rallying cry—or just one of many wild ideas—as Ethereum sails into its second decade.
