Buterin is committed to enhancing Ethereum's cybersecurity and resilience, ensuring that the platform remains secure, decentralized, and privacy-friendly for users and third-party wallets.

Additionally, Buterin's roadmap encompasses support for decentralized infrastructure, encrypted messaging platforms, and improvements in developer documentation and governance models.

In a recent post on Farcaster, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin outlined his ambitious vision for the network's future, emphasizing infrastructure improvements, smart contract execution, and privacy enhancements.

While he may not be directly involved in all areas of development, expanding the gas limit and enhancing peer-to-peer communication remain important objectives for the developer community.

This vision comes at a time when the Ethereum network has reached a significant milestone, with over 15.4 million unique addresses interacting with its applications, including nearly 13.45 million on Layer-2 solutions.

Buterin's roadmap for 2025 includes key focuses such as faster transaction finality, stateless client architecture, enhanced privacy features, and stronger decentralization.

A major priority in his research is 'single-slot finality,' which aims to reduce transaction finalization time to just 12 seconds, significantly improving user experience.

Privacy is a recurring theme in Buterin's proposals, and he has advocated for it to be a top priority for developers, outlining a short-term privacy roadmap.

His vision includes creating user-friendly tools that maintain confidentiality without sacrificing transparency or security.

He also aims to enhance communication tools and governance changes, focusing on the social layer around Ethereum, including funding for open-source development.

A key aspect of his vision is to make Ethereum stateless, which would reduce the need for nodes to store full state data, potentially improving scalability and decentralization.

Recent changes at the Ethereum Foundation have granted Buterin more freedom to focus on long-term innovations, which co-executive director Tomasz Stańczak believes can accelerate breakthroughs in the ecosystem.
