Where Will ETH Be in 10 Years? Vitalik Buterin Answers 🤔🚀🔥

[00:00:00]So, Ethereum in 2032, you have a node, your node runs on your phone. Every 12 seconds or 32 seconds or whatever number we agree on, you download 3.6 megabytes of data, you hash it, you do a couple of elliptic curve equations to check a snark. That's it. You know the block is valid. Wait 12 seconds, get 3.6 megabytes of data, hash it, do a do some elliptic curve operations, verify the snark, and valid. 12 seconds later, data, hash, elliptic curve check, valid.

[00:00:30]Right? So, like the whole process just becomes in you know incredibly sleek and uh seamless to the point where like literally a phone could even do it, right? Because it's incredibly light on computation. The only thing that it's heavy on is data, and data just happens to be the thing that you know phones are increasingly getting insanely good at and will get even better at over the next 10 years. Like that to me is what I see the final uh like goal being from a uh protocol standpoint.
