Buterin Bets Big: Ethereum Layer 1 Scaling 10X Within 12 Months
Ethereum’s co-founder drops a bombshell—mainnet scalability could skyrocket tenfold by mid-2026. No more ’Layer 2 crutches’ talk, just raw base-chain throughput gains.
The pledge? Achieve what crypto skeptics said was impossible without sacrificing decentralization. (Though let’s be real—Wall Street still won’t care until the APY exceeds their cocaine budgets.)
Execution risks remain, but the roadmap’s clear: sharding upgrades meet optimized execution layers. If delivered, we’re looking at sub-$0.10 transactions even during NFT mania 3.0.
