What powers Layer 2 today could transform Layer 1 tomorrow.
Vitalik Buterin Looks Ahead: What’s Next for Ethereum L1?
At this year’s Web3 Carnival in Hong Kong, Vitalik Buterin took the stage at ETHAsia 2025 to share a fresh perspective on where Ethereum’s core layer (L1) is heading.
In his keynote, “The Future of Ethereum L1,” he opened up about how the very tools that helped Layer 2 (L2) grow—like the smart balance between who builds and who verifies—could soon play a big role in evolving L1 itself.
Here’s what stood out:
Ethereum L1 might scale even further by using techniques we’ve seen thrive on L2.
It could handle even larger data loads, reduce delays, and defend better against MEV threats.
We might see more flexible, innovative virtual machines on L1 in the near future.
Buterin’s vision? A faster, more efficient Ethereum where L1 and L2 learn from each other to create a more powerful network for everyone.
Ethereum’s still just getting started—and we’re here for it.
Follow along as we explore what’s next for the blockchain world.
