Vitalik: Ethereum's mission is to connect Eastern and Western communities, plans to achieve 10x scalability next year
BlockBeats News, September 13, according to Bitcoin.com, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin took the stage at EthTokyo 2025 and stated that he firmly believes Layer 2 solutions are the future direction of Ethereum. He further put forward an ambitious goal: Ethereum plans to achieve a 10x scalability increase next year, enhancing the network's throughput and accessibility while maintaining decentralization and security.
Vitalik specifically emphasized the role of Asia. Chinese developers created the early PyEthereum client, volunteers translated the whitepaper and documentation into multiple languages, and the power of the community propelled Ethereum to a global stage. He compared the styles of Chinese and Japanese developers: Chinese projects advance rapidly and on a large scale, while Japanese developers are more adept at experimenting with new technologies.
Looking to the future, Vitalik called for more researchers and application developers to join, stating that reliance should not be placed solely on the core team. He encouraged Asian developers to focus on efficiency and security, and believes that AI will become an important learning tool. New technologies often "reset" the ecosystem, such as the breakthroughs brought by zero-knowledge proofs. Vitalik predicts that the 2030s will usher in a new technological paradigm.
Vitalik reiterated that Ethereum's mission is to connect Eastern and Western communities. In terms of funding models, he believes that the global advantage of ICOs surpasses that of traditional VCs, and proposed that in the future, ICOs should be combined with DAO governance to create a more open and transparent funding mechanism.
