Mill City Ventures Secures $500M Equity Line for SUI Treasury Expansion

Ethereum has turned 10 years old. And instead of looking back, the team behind 
the second-largest cryptocurrency is laying down a bold plan for the future.

Made—Expert The Ethereum Foundation has released a long-term roadmap called 
the &#8220;Ethereum Lean Plan.” The focus: scale the network massively, keep it 
online 100% of the time, and prepare for future threats—including powerful 
quantum computers. Big Goals For The Next Decade The Foundation says Ethereum 
will continue operating with no downtime, just as it has since its launch in 
2015. The team wants to make sure that even if nation-states or supercomputers 
try to take it down, Ethereum will survive. In addition to that, Ethereum also 
intends to scale considerably. The strategy involves 10,000 transactions per 
second (TPS) on the layer 1 chain and 1 million TPS on layer 2 chains. All of 
these will be accomplished with improved tools, such as zkVMs and Data 
Availability Sampling (DAS), to assist users in being able to verify the chain 
more quickly without having to download everything. All Eyes On Lean Consensus 
And Speed Upgrades The Lean Plan will enhance all three sublayers of 
Ethereum&#8217;s foundation layer. The crew would like to implement what it refers 
to as a &#8220;lean consensus,&#8221; or quicker transaction confirmations and better data 
handling. New technology such as SNARK-friendly code for the Ethereum Virtual 
Machine (EVM) is being developed to speed up and make the network lighter. 
These upgrades will provide finality in seconds instead of minutes, a 
significant boon for users seeking quick and trustworthy results. The 
Foundation also intends to advance cryptography to secure Ethereum against 
quantum attacks. The mission is straightforward: safeguard user balances and 
smart contracts prior to quantum computers posing an actual threat. Related

Ethereum Reserves Reach $10 Billion The big announcement came during 
Ethereum’s 10th anniversary celebration. At the same time, reports showed that 
Ethereum’s strategic reserves have grown to $10 billion. Corporate holdings 
have also jumped, with total assets reaching 2.73 million ETH. ETH is also 
doing well on the market. At the time of the report, the token was trading at 
$3,610 after gaining 47% over the last month. The Foundation called the new 
vision a “generational oath” to keep Ethereum alive, safe, and ready for the 
next wave of users and developers. This 10-year roadmap is ambitious, but if 
the team delivers, Ethereum could become much faster and stronger than it is 
today. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView
