Vitalik Buterin stated that the Ethereum Foundation (EF) will transform into a smaller, more long-term oriented and clearly positioned organization. It will no longer act as the 'hub' of the Ethereum ecosystem, but focus on core areas including censorship resistance, openness, privacy and security.

Vitalik believes Ethereum should not merely pursue higher TPS and lower latency. Instead, it needs to build differentiated advantages in consensus security, formal verification and reduced reliance on intermediaries. He also revealed that around 90% of his net worth is still held in ETH, and the remaining on-chain fiat funds worth approximately 40 million US dollars have been fully invested in open-source research and technical projects.

Furthermore, Vitalik pointed out that current smart contract wallets and privacy protocols rely excessively on third-party relay nodes. For this reason, proposals such as FOCIL, EIP-8141 and EIP-7701 are being advanced to restructure the public transaction mempool and enable peer-to-peer on-chain transactions.
