Svmuu News Ethereum The Foundation has released the "strawmap" roadmap, outlining seven hard forks planned for the 2026–2029 period. The roadmap focuses on post-quantum cryptography, private ETH transfers, and improved transaction finality. Key highlights include: 1.Sub-second transaction finality: L1 finality reduced from 16 minutes to a minimum of 8 seconds, achieved through a single-round vote via the new Minimmit consensus mechanism.2. Significant throughput improvement: L1 targets 10,000 TPS (“gigagas”), while L2 networks such as Arbitrum and Optimism aim for approximately 10 million TPS (“teragas”).3. Shorter block intervals: Slot time will gradually decrease from 12 seconds to 8, 6, and 4 seconds, and potentially even 2 seconds, with each adjustment prioritizing network security.4. Privacy and security: Introduction of shielded transfers to enable private ETH transactions; deployment of post-quantum cryptography solutions to enhance protection against quantum computing.
