The Ethereum Foundation has made post-quantum security a strategic priority and formed a dedicated Post‑Quantum team to work on leanVM and post-quantum signatures. The effort aims to prepare ETH and the wider ecosystem for the long-term risk posed by quantum computers.
After a six-hour outage last week, Sui upgraded its mainnet to V1.63.3 and raised the protocol version to 107 as an emergency fix. Validators applied the update to restore normal network operation.
Ethereum co‑founder Vitalik Buterin warned that relentless feature additions to preserve backward compatibility have increased protocol complexity and called for a 'garbage collection' phase to prune obsolete state. He argues cleanup is needed to ease node burden and long‑term maintainability.
Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin reiterated a long-term goal for the network to pass the “walkaway test,” meaning the core protocol can run and evolve without ongoing human intervention. The announcement signals a push for greater autonomy and long-term sustainability for ETH.
IOTA celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2025 by launching the Rebased protocol upgrade and expanding its global footprint through new projects and strategic partnerships.
Vitalik Buterin tweeted that the ideal of “trustlessness” requires a simpler Ethereum protocol. He’s urging a rethink of complexity to reduce implicit trust assumptions.
Vitalik Buterin and a group of prominent Ethereum developers published the Trustless Manifesto setting strict criteria for decentralization after reports that a small group of insiders steered protocol priorities. The manifesto aims to reduce concentrated influence over funding and attention in the ETH ecosystem.
