Vitalik: Ethereum’s mission is to connect the East and West communities, and plans to achieve 10x expansion next year

According to BlockBeats, on September 13, according to Bitcoin.com, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin delivered a speech on EthTokyo 2025, saying that he firmly believes that the Layer 2 solution is the future development direction of Ethereum and further put forward an ambitious goal: Ethereum plans to achieve 10 times expansion next year, and improve network throughput and accessibility while maintaining decentralization and security. Vitalik emphasizes the role of Asia in particular. China developed the early PyEthereum client, where volunteers translated white papers and documents into multiple languages, and community forces pushed Ethereum to the world. He compared the style of Chinese and Japanese developers: Chinese projects are rapidly advancing and large in scale; Japanese developers are better at trying new technologies. Looking ahead, Vitalik calls on more researchers and application developers to join, and should not rely solely on core teams. He encouraged Asian developers to focus on efficiency and security and believed that AI will become an important learning tool. New technologies often "reset" the ecosystem, such as breakthroughs brought by zero-knowledge proof. Vitalik predicts that a new technological paradigm will usher in the 2030s. Vitalik reiterates that Ethereum’s mission is to connect the East and West communities. In terms of financing model, he believes that the global advantages of ICO are better than traditional VCs, and proposed that in the future, ICO and DAO governance should be combined to create a more open and transparent funding mechanism.
