Vitalik Buterin says Ethereum is becoming a much bigger network

Vitalik Buterin said Ethereum is gradually transforming from a blockchain into a much bigger network with multiple layers. Buterin expressed optimism about a huge amount of progress across Ethereum's protocol and applications. He said every hard fork a year from now will involve advanced cryptographic features. He specifically mentioned quantum-safe signature algorithms. Buterin said many Ethereum applications were created before programmable privacy and tools for verifying complex code became available. He said those tools are increasingly within reach. Buterin has also supported AI-powered solutions to address threats to cryptocurrency security. In February, he outlined four priorities for cooperation between Ethereum and AI in a 2x2 framework. ETH was up 1.4% in the last 24 hours to $2,714 as of the article's publication, according to Benzinga Pro.
