Vitalik: Almost EVERY Major Piece Of Ethereum Will Be REPLACED!!

Vitalik Buterin has revealed Ethereum's third major era roadmap, a comprehensive 3-4 year plan to replace nearly every major piece of the protocol. The roadmap prioritizes three key areas: quantum resistance (replacing vulnerable cryptography with quantum-safe alternatives), scalability (introducing recursive STARKs for cheaper verification, multi-dimensional gas for fairer fees, and a new UTXO-style state model alongside the existing account-based model), and privacy (elevating it from an afterthought to a first-class goal). This represents a fundamental reinvention of Ethereum's architecture, comparable in significance to the Merge, aiming to make the network more efficient, secure, and private for future use cases.
