The post Vitalik Buterin Unveils Plans To Scale Ethereum 10X In A Year appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

After months of back-and-forth, Vitalik Buterin says Ethereum will scale its layer 1 by 10X in the near future. Buterin confirms that the timeline for the 10X scalability roadmap will be a little over a year without affecting the network’s decentralization. Vitalik Buterin Confirms Ethereum Layer 1 Scaling Plans Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has provided clarity for the short-term future of Ethereum, hinting at a wholesale implementation of scalability plans. Buterin confirmed the plans at a panel discussion at ETHGlobal Prague, unveiling L1 scaling ambitions. Buterin revealed that he will back a plan to scale Ethereum’s layer 1 by 10X “over the next year and a bit.” While scaling the L1 within a year is an ideal timeline, Buterin expressed concerns over a frenzied approach toward scaling. He argues that scaling the L1 in a little over a year offers an ideal alternative for the network. Buterin’s proposed timeline factors in delayed execution and networking level improvements required to make the leap toward 10x scaling. Vitalik Buterin adds that the extended timeline will allow Ethereum to keep an eye on decentralization metrics. Furthermore, he adds that the development team will use the additional time to tie up any loose ends, double-check censorship resistance, and possibly EVM improvements. “At that point it will be a good time to take a breather and have a period to verify that we are doing okay on decentralization properties,” said Buterin. Buterin has previously backed the use of stateless nodes for Ethereum scaling to maintain user privacy and network decentralization. Calls For L1 Scaling Have Reached Frenzied Levels After a dismal Q1 marred by falling ETH prices and on-chain metrics, several key opinion leaders have amplified calls for an immediate L1 scaling. Top Ethereum researcher Dankrad Feist stated that the network is in grave danger…
