Odaily reports that Vitalik Buterin posted on X platform stating that blockchain in its early days possessed characteristics of openness, neutrality, and security, but suffered from issues of non-scalability, full transparency, and lack of privacy protection. Privacy transactions and scalable verification brought by zero-knowledge proofs have moved from planning into actual EIPs in the Ethereum roadmap, technologies such as fully homomorphic encryption are beginning to be applied, and indistinguishability obfuscation may be applied on-chain in the future.He stated that parallel block construction and proving can achieve greater scalability, and the Web3 industry's focus has expanded from digital assets to digital assets and information, covering the complete pipeline from the user end, transaction mempool, to on-chain. With the development of AI, providing cryptographic rules to AI for automated formal verification can improve verification efficiency.

Odaily reports that Vitalik Buterin posted on X platform, responding to Paradigm CTO Georgios Konstantopoulos's question about the space for privacy development, stating that privacy only truly dies when you give up on it; he will not give up on privacy, but will instead double down. Previously, in August, Vitalik updated the Ethereum roadmap, listing quantum security, privacy protection, and native Rollups as future priorities.

Odaily: Vitalik posted on X that approximately 90% of his net worth is held in cryptocurrency, and he believes that as related capabilities gradually mature, cybersecurity will favor the defensive side.He stated that AI can verify "program security" as mathematical theorems, but the definition of security needs to cover risk factors including keys, servers, devices, operating systems, databases, networks, and caching layers; for security-critical components, the entire program should be verified. Vitalik said that Ethereum will advance in this direction over the coming years, and that blockchains—especially those combining scalability and privacy—need to achieve software security.

Odaily reports that Vitalik posted on X platform, stating that a key application of adversarial governance mechanism design theory may be AI safety. There exists a deep duality between the two environments: in the former, a less capable principal achieves desired outcomes through a set of more capable agents, where the principal is a static algorithm and the agents are humans; in the latter, the principals are humans and weaker LLMs, while the agents are stronger LLMs. Related research has found that if the degree of collusion among agents can be limited, better outcomes can be achieved, and this conclusion may be applicable to the field of AI safety.

Odaily News, Vitalik posted on the X platform, expressing his hope to include the recursive STARK memory pool proposal EIP-8288 in the Ethereum I-star upgrade, stating that it can be seen as the next step after Frames. This solution can place quantum-safe signature data off-chain, reducing signature costs; the fuel cost of quantum-safe privacy transactions is also expected to drop from approximately 10 million to tens of thousands. The solution aggregates transaction dependencies through frames and recursive STARKs, with nodes sending one STARK of about 100 to 300KB per time cycle; the on-chain overhead is one STARK and 96 bytes per statement to be proven.

Odaily News Silicon Valley angel investor Liron Shapira (@liron) posted on X this morning: "I predict (with 50% confidence): due to AI shaking the security and stability guarantees people once believed Bitcoin possessed, BTC's price will plummet more than 50% within the next two years."Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin rebutted this, stating: "I hold the exact opposite view. My basic reasoning is that, in the long run, I am quite optimistic about network security. I believe the main challenge lies in smoothly navigating the transition period. Moreover, I think BTC can at least properly handle all problems that do not require social consensus (such as upgrading clients, mining pools, etc., to counter network-level attacks — these fall into this category). Additionally, I believe the probability of hash algorithms or proof-of-work mechanisms being genuinely broken is extremely slim. I would have wanted to bet with you, but considering my current asset allocation (I guess you hold the same view regarding Ethereum ETH), I have already staked about 90% of my net worth on this bet."

Odaily News, Vitalik posted on the X platform stating that he recently updated the EIP-8141 "Frame Transaction" proposal. Key improvements include atomic batch execution of up to 64 operations, support for social recovery, adoption of P256 quantum-resistant signatures, and allowing anyone to pay gas fees on behalf of users. The proposal was co-authored by 10 experts including Vitalik and lightclient, and has been planned for inclusion in the 2027 Hegotá upgrade.

Odaily News: Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated that the Poseidon hash function family, after years of research and development, has generated significant practical value in Ethereum and other fields, and will continue to play a role in the years to come. Poseidon is one of the key reasons why modern privacy protocols are able to quickly generate SNARK proofs on the client side.Vitalik noted that general-purpose STARKs have now achieved extremely high performance, with proof overhead for nearly any batch computation reduced to the three-digit range, and it is expected to further drop to double digits or even lower in the future—a level of progress that even exceeded expectations from the early 2020s.
