Ethereum cofounder Vitalik Buterin has shared his vision for the Ethereum ecosystem, outlining key focus areas for 2025. In a recent post, Buterin highlighted two key themes: strengthening the Ethereum layer-1 core infrastructure and expanding its role in the broader decentralized ecosystem.
At the heart of Buterin’s 2025 strategy is the continued development of Ethereum’s core infrastructure. Along these lines, Buterin stated that his priority was to advance Ethereum’s core infrastructure, with a focus on its long-term roadmap, security, decentralization and privacy.
The second pillar of Buterin’s 2025 game plan focuses on building out a broader decentralized ecosystem beyond Ethereum itself. As a priority, Buterin seeks to promote decentralized ecosystems from a broader perspective, accelerating development in areas such as communication, governance and foundational infrastructure.
The Pectra network update is set to go live on the Ethereum mainnet on May 7, 2025, at epoch 364032.
Pectra builds on last year's Dencun upgrade, introducing features to augment Ethereum accounts, improve the validator experience and enable L2 scaling. EIP-7702 extends smart contract capabilities to standard Ethereum accounts (EOAs), allowing for use cases like transaction batching, gas sponsorship and social recovery without the need for asset migration.
For stakers, Pectra will introduce the ability to raise validators' effective balances. This means that small operators can compound their stake directly, while large ones can consolidate validators to reduce bandwidth usage on the p2p network.
This upgrade also doubles the network's average blob count, allowing existing and new L2s to scale their Ethereum usage.
