Ethereum Announces Fork Plan for Lean Ethereum
Ethereum's Lean Ethereum plan aims to enhance scalability and security by introducing a series of hard forks. The plan, led by the Ethereum Foundation and including Vitalik Buterin, involves upgrades to the network's consensus, execution, and data layers. The final fork, L*, is targeted for completion by the end of 2029, with the first named upgrade, Glamsterdam, expected to be completed by late 2026 or early 2027. The plan also includes the introduction of quantum-safe hash-based signatures and recursive STARK proofs for verifying transactions.
