Insight: @VitalikButerin says he’s building a “cypherpunk principled non-ugly Ethereum,” as devs schedule FOCIL (EIP-7805) for the Hegota upgrade in late 2026 to harden protocol-level censorship resistance. https://t.co/4cqCMTOOkY ...

Vitalik Buterin said he is building a "cypherpunk-principled" Ethereum as a bolt-on to the current system, aiming to enhance censorship resistance, zk-friendliness and leaner consensus. He suggested that within five years — possibly sooner with AI — Ethereum could migrate to a new system language, with further upgrades planned to the state tree, consensus, ZK-EVM verification and VM.https://t.co/GTbw2YU8P9 ...

RT Ragnarok (@Ragnarok88123)@simulx4 @NickSzabo4 2/ You can see how the monetary integrity, censorship resistance and immutability of the chain would be shattered by this fork. The 'real chain' is going to be the one with the economic power behind it, so the crappy one will win and we'd all know that one is worthless. ...
