Vitalik Buterin’s recent posts reflect a shift from idealistic decentralization toward pragmatic system design. Rather than rejecting Ethereum’s core principles, he questions where complexity, governance, and the current development path fail under real-world constraints.

Vitalik Buterin proposes replacing Ethereum's EVM with RISC-V. According to Ethereum’s founder, the new virtual machine could significantly improve efficiency and address one of the main scaling bottlenecks of Ethereum Layer 1.

The weak price performance of ETH has led Ethereum users to more closely examine the Ethereum Foundation and its leadership, raising many questions.

28 different meme-coins, including Doge, JShiba and Pluto, were sold by Vitalik Buterin this week. All proceeds from the almost 984,000 USDC sale were donated to his charity, Kanro. The sell-off impacted the price of the coins, including Dogecoin’s sister coin, Neiro, which plunged 3% after the sale.

The zero-knowledge privacy application is gaining momentum on Farcaster, which has been grappling with a 96% decline in monthly revenue since February.

Large-scale adoption of Ethereum by Layer 2 chains led to a quick fill-up of blob space. Vitalik Buterin urged to allow for more cheap space for L2 usage in the closest upgrade.

Buterin ponders the necessary infrastructural changes that should be implemented in Ethereum to enhance its decentralization and reduce its time to finality.

With its initiatives and dApps, Celo protocol offers a glimpse into what Buterin meant by DeFi projects that sought yield outside the sector.
