Ethereum 2029: Rebuilding the Ship of Theseus in Mid-Flight
Eli5DeFi outlines a seven-phase Ethereum reconstruction from 2026-2029 replacing consensus and execution logic while maintaining state continuity. Key milestones include finality compression to 18 seconds by 2028, ZK proofs replacing redundant node execution, quantum-resistant hash-based signatures by 2029, and L1 throughput scaling to 10,000 TPS by 2030—a 300x increase from current 15-30 TPS. Timeline risks include quantum migration complexity, unproven 1,000x ZK prover speedups, and governance consensus uncertainty.
