Ethereum 2025: Vitalik Buterin Reveals His Vision for the Future
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently shared his thoughts and goals for the year 2025. According to him, he aims to make the Ethereum network even stronger and more technically advanced — transforming it from just a blockchain into a fully secure and decentralized ecosystem.
Vitalik emphasized that his top priority remains Ethereum’s Layer 1 long-term roadmap. This includes several key updates such as single-slot finality, a long-term virtual machine (VM), statelessness, and enhancements in security, decentralization, and resilience.
He also acknowledged that during Ethereum’s development, other platforms like Cardano have overtaken Ethereum in developer activity. However, he firmly believes that Ethereum’s true strength lies in its long-term vision and secure foundation.
Buterin strongly stressed that full-stack security, privacy, and open-source development are the most important aspects. He stated that Ethereum's future will only be safe if it eliminates centralized control and protects user privacy at every level — including in wallets and apps.
Beyond Ethereum's core technology, Vitalik is also focusing on social and governance tools, which he refers to as “big-picture decentralized coordination (d/acc)”. This includes communication platforms, new mechanisms for governance, and innovative ways to fund open-source projects.
He also mentioned that he is currently less active in some areas such as cryptography, operating systems, hardware, infrastructure, and bio-defense, where other members of his team are taking the lead.
