Ethereum (ETH) Upgrades: PeerDAS Live and ZK-EVMs in Alpha — Vitalik Buterin’s 2026–2030 Roadmap and Trading Implications
According to @VitalikButerin, PeerDAS is live on Ethereum mainnet and ZK-EVMs are at alpha with production-quality performance while safety work remains, positioning Ethereum for decentralized consensus with high bandwidth. Source: Vitalik Buterin on X, Jan 3, 2026 https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/2007559523528233041 He states this combination effectively solves the scalability trilemma in practice, with data availability sampling live today and ZK-EVM performance production-quality, and outlines a rollout: 2026 non-ZK-EVM-dependent gas limit increases via BALs and ePBS and first opportunities to run a ZK-EVM node; 2026–28 gas repricings, state structure changes, and exec payloads moving into blobs; 2027–30 further large gas limit increases as ZK-EVM becomes the primary block validation method. Source: Vitalik Buterin on X, Jan 3, 2026 https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/2007559523528233041 He emphasizes distributed block building as a third pillar, aiming for blocks never being constituted in one place and advocating in-protocol channels such as expanded FOCIL or out-of-protocol distributed builder marketplaces to reduce centralized interference and improve geographic fairness in transaction inclusion. Source: Vitalik Buterin on X, Jan 3, 2026 https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/2007559523528233041 He notes this is the culmination of a decade of work from early data availability sampling research and that ZK-EVM efforts began around 2020, referencing his original note on data availability and erasure coding.

TSLA vs GOOGL, AMZN, BIDU: Gary Black Warns Marketing Is Critical to Monetize AI Autonomy and Humanoid Robots
According to Gary Black, Tesla’s future growth depends on selling unsupervised autonomy and humanoid robots, making marketing a mission-critical lever for adoption and monetization. Source: Gary Black on X, Jan 3, 2026. He argues TSLA currently lacks the marketing muscle to compete with GOOGL, AMZN, BIDU and other tech-savvy firms that excel at educating mass-market consumers on AI product benefits, creating execution risk for Tesla’s AI-driven revenue streams. Source: Gary Black on X, Jan 3, 2026. He adds that autonomous ride-hailing is already crowded and that the personal robots category will become crowded once a dozen manufacturers solve unsupervised autonomy, so TSLA must invest in broad advertising and communications to differentiate rather than rely on word-of-mouth. Source: Gary Black on X, Jan 3, 2026. He cites Apple’s iPhone as a case where strong advertising mattered, implying that without great advertising Tesla could struggle to scale consumer adoption of AI offerings. Source: Gary Black on X, Jan 3, 2026. For traders, Black frames marketing execution as a key catalyst and risk to TSLA’s relative positioning versus mega-cap AI platforms and to the timeline of autonomy and robot monetization.

Bitcoin 2140 Explained: How the BTC Network Runs With No New Coins and a Fee‑Only Security Model
According to @binance, Bitcoin has a fixed 21 million BTC cap and the final coin is expected to be mined around 2140, after which the block subsidy ends and miners are compensated solely by transaction fees, Source: Binance Academy. The BTC network will continue to produce blocks and validate transactions under the same consensus rules, with miner incentives coming from fees included in each block, Source: Binance Academy. Halvings every 210000 blocks progressively reduce new issuance until it reaches zero, increasing the role of transaction fees in miner revenue and network security over time, Source: Binance Academy. For traders, the predictable decline in issuance means monitoring fee levels and the fee share of miner revenue becomes increasingly important as a proxy for on-chain demand and miner incentives, Source: Binance Academy.
