1. Ethereum Roadmap Ethereum wants to have its cake and eat it too: achieve scalability while maintaining or even increasing decentralization. By reducing the tension between the two we can have more of both simultaneously, which in turn leads to more overall security in various ways: more usage and usecases, network value, robustness against attack, and democratization of acesses and validation. A lot has been achieved since 2020: uniquely distributed liveness-favoring consensus complemented with a robust slashing and recovery mechansim, enshrined ETH with baseline staking utility, trust-minimized light validation, and scalable and proliferating layer-2s. Work continues to further harden security, neutrality, and chain economics both in-protocol (censorship resistance, protocol simplification, decentralization) and extra-protocol. There still are essential things we <span style="color: red;font-weight: bold;">need</span> and <span style="color: rgb(8, 157, 243);font-weight: bold;">want</span>, and <span style="color: rgb(130, 171, 17);font-weight: bold;">better</span> things we would like:
