Expectations for Ethereum in 2024
Starting with the Dencun hard fork, 2024 is shaping up to be an exciting year for the Ethereum network.
At the end of 2023, Ethereum published the Ethereum roadmap going forward, conceding that there are only small differences from the previous year.
Buterin stated in a series of posts on X (previously Twitter) that Ethereum’s sustained focus in 2024 will be on six essential components. Buterin expounded on these six parts — Merge, Surge, Scourge, Verge, Purge and Splurge — in a thorough chart with commentaries and graphics.
Buterin already indicated his intention to revive the original vision of the «cypherpunk» revolution for the Ethereum blockchain, as previously reported.
