Protocol at Ethereum Foundation – a loose affiliation of EF teams pushing the frontier of R&D for the Ethereum protocol created last June – has published the "Strawap," a work-in-progress roadmap for Ethereum's development future.
What's the Scoop?
- New Roadmap: EF Protocol's "Strawmap" started life in January as an internal tool. It is a draft technical roadmap that outlines one possible trajectory for Ethereum’s base layer, providing a unified visual perspective for Ethereum development across the next decade.
- Key Highlights: Strawmap organizes Ethereum’s long-term ambitions around five "black box" goals: fast L1 (fast UX via short slots and finality in seconds), gigagas L1 (10K TPS via zkEVMs and real-time proving), teragas L2 (10M TPS via data availability sampling), post quantum L1 (durable cryptography via hash-based schemes), and private L1 (first-class privacy via shielded ETH transfers).
- Living Document: The Strawmap is a living document designed to evolve alongside community feedback, R&D advancements, and governance. Updates can be expected on at least a quarterly basis.
