Overview
- Seven network upgrades are mapped through the end of 2029 on a roughly six‑month cadence, with 2026 forks named Glamsterdam and Hegotá.
- Slot times are targeted to fall progressively from 12 seconds toward 2 seconds, while finality aims to drop to about 6–16 seconds via a one‑round BFT design called Minimmit.
- The plan sets throughput goals of about 10,000 transactions per second on Layer 1 and roughly 10 million TPS across Layer 2s, leveraging zkEVMs, data availability sampling, and an erasure‑coded p2p layer.
- The roadmap outlines a phased move to post‑quantum, hash‑based signatures, potentially making block production quantum‑resistant before finality achieves full quantum protection.
- Native privacy enters scope with shielded ETH transfers at Layer 1, and the document is presented as a living coordination tool subject to testing, verification, and community governance.
