Berlinterop brought @ethereum core devs and top L2/ZK teams together in Berlin. The outcome? A clear roadmap for 2025, built around 3 key trends: - Faster execution - Stronger L1–L2 coordination - Lighter, modular zk clients Let’s break it down 1/🧵

2/ Fusaka: The next leap in Ethereum’s execution layer Two devnets were launched to test: — Execution performance — Block-building logic — Parallelization experiments Fusaka is the first major step toward a faster Ethereum.

3/ It also sets the stage for future upgrades like Pectra With parallel EVM and shorter slot times on the horizon, Fusaka is preparing Ethereum for a more scalable execution environment. → Sepolia testnet expected by late summer.

4/ What L2s are asking for: — More blob space + faster finality — Early visibility into EVM changes — A seat at the table for scaling roadmap discussions @ethereum is evolving into a multi-layered protocol—L2s included.

5/ Coordination is becoming standard, not optional Future EIPs and protocol decisions will likely see deeper involvement from L2s. We’re moving toward standardized L1–L2 interoperability.

6/ The zk track: Stateless Clients, zkEVM, ISA standards Stateless Clients were a major topic.

7/ Stateless Clients = lightweight, verifiable, modular No local state. zk proofs for block validity. Prototypes expected in 2025, with work focused on: — Proof incentive models — Censorship-resistant data — zkVM instruction standards

8/ @ethereum's future is modular by design Fusaka upgrades execution. L2s shape the protocol. zk clients redefine what a node can be.

9/ @ethereum's 2025 is taking shape: — Faster block production — Collaborative scaling — Lighter, zk-native clients The direction is clear. The ecosystem is aligned.

10/ At @Mint_Ecosystem, we’re building with this future in mind As a Layer 2 on the Superchain, focused on NFTs infrastructure, we’re following these trends closely and contributing where we can. The next phase of Ethereum is coming, and we’re building for it.
