In a two-hour Bankless podcast episode, the Ethereum co-founder mentioned his plans to create Eth2 succeed.
Vitalik Buterin has walked listeners through a five-part roadmap on the most recent Bankless podcast wherever he printed the required steps for Ethereum to survive and thrive.
In order to realize final scalability and decentralization, Butalik claimed that Ethereum must be additional agile and more lightweight in terms of blockchain information so additional individuals will manage and use it.
At the start of December, Buterin conjointly revealed a commentary titled “Endgame” wherever he makes the case that every one blockchains can ultimately converge within the future, whereas listing the tools that may provide block verification to happen in a very localised and censorship resistant manner.

The first step is termed the merge, touching on the total transition aloof from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake, going down within the first half of 2022. Part two, known as the surge, plans to offer Ethereum inflated scalability, huge bandwidth and turnout, significantly on zk-rollups. The merge and therefore the surge are the foremost vital upgrades, consistent with Buterin, to assembling out the Ethereum network.
When asked to evaluate Ethereum’s progress created thus far within the past six years, Buterin declared that "we are 50% of the manner there" due to the launch of the Beacon chain, the London onerous fork and even the rise of NFTs. however there's still a long way to go.
Once the merge and surge undergo, and there's full sharding implementation, then it'll supposedly be 80% complete. The roadmap, that is estimated to require another six years to finish, can cause according to optimization, according to Buterin.
The next phases embrace the verge, enabling additional users to run nodes and basically "democratizing access to the broadest range of participants attainable to anyone and everybody who desires to verify the validity of the chain," said Buterin. Following the verge, area unit the purge and splurge phases, touching on the elimination of historical information and therefore the addition of miscellaneous upgrades, severally.
