Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin shares his vision on Ethereum 2.0 years
The Ethereum 2.0 launch is scheduled for this year. Vitalik Buterin has shared his opinion on all the changes that may come in the future. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin took to Twitter to highlight his rough vision on what the next five to ten years of Ethereum 2.0 might look like. However, he gave a disclaimer that the roadmap highlights are his current views. And that respects other people's ideas.
At the same time, Buterin said he has an open-minded concept for future technological development. According to Buterin, the last two years have mainly been occupied by a big shift from the much-perceived 'blue sky research' (basic research) to concrete research and development. He noted that the team has been busy trying to understand what is possible in Ethereum 2.0. However, they are now trying to optimize specific primitives that are implementable.

Buterin went on to point out that the developer team is now well informed about the capabilities and also the limits of the proof of stake. Additionally, the team is now well versed in fragmentation security models. Buterin also noted that in the past two years there has been a growing movement toward maintaining compatibility. Also to ensure a smooth transition for applications. Furthermore, he said that the developer team has been busy making Ethereum 2.0 and its predecessor fit together.
In his next move, Buterin said that “from here on out, research continues, although most of the challenges are now increasingly development-related, and the development portion of the pie will continue to grow over time .” However, he advised the broader Ethereum community and investors that there is less reason to fear complexity. He promised that the current approach is so well orchestrated that there will be no need for an additional upgrade similar in size to the current Ethereum 1.0 to 2.0.
Importance of changes
According to the Ethereum white paper, the entire Ethereum project was intended to be a smart contract platform where developers would build decentralized applications. However, after its launch, the project began experiencing scalability and blockchain speed issues. This was due to the fact that, during the height of the CryptoKitties craze, Ethereum transaction fees skyrocketed to approximately 0.02 ETH, roughly $20.
To realize their vision for scalable decentralized applications, Ethereum developers devised a roadmap. It was ambitious enough to include proof-of-stake and sharding in the initial project. Version 2.0 is intended to address all of these issues. According to Buterin, the previous notes represent his ideas for the next five to ten years. The change is highly anticipated by many who are waiting to see if it will impact Ethereum's price market.
