Vitalik Buterin Details Roadmap To Boost Ethereum Capacity By 1,000x With Strawmap Plan

On February 27, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin released a technical roadmap describing how the network could scale to roughly 1,000 times its current transaction throughput while preserving accessibility for smaller node operators. The Strawmap proposal centers on three areas—execution, data, and state—with near-term upgrades like Glamsterdam and longer-term use of ZK-EVMs and revised state-growth pricing to raise capacity without requiring more powerful hardware.
