According to Vitalik Buterin, the Ethereum community is discussing allowing stage‑1 optimistic rollups to adopt shorter withdrawal windows of roughly 1–2 days while keeping more conservative parameters for stage‑2 systems. Source: Vitalik Buterin on Twitter, Nov 4, 2025; Ethereum Magicians forum discussion titled I think it is ok to allow stage 1 rollups shorter withdrawal windows 1-2 days, but we should be more conservative on stage 2. He emphasized this is a discussion rather than an implemented change, so traders should avoid assuming parameter updates on any specific rollup until official announcements are made by the respective teams. Source: Vitalik Buterin on Twitter, Nov 4, 2025; Ethereum Magicians forum discussion. The discussion focuses on the effects of reducing withdrawal times and related security trade‑offs, with direct implications for ETH withdrawal latency and liquidity planning for optimistic rollup exits.

According to @VitalikButerin, Ethereum is scaling; he posted the statement on Nov 4, 2025 and linked to a Growth The Pie post on X to highlight progress (source: @VitalikButerin on X, Nov 4, 2025). The tweet provides no quantitative metrics, timelines, or price guidance in the provided content, signaling sentiment rather than a new technical release for traders to price in (source: @VitalikButerin on X, Nov 4, 2025). Traders seeking concrete on-chain data are directed by the post to the linked Growth The Pie thread for scaling indicators such as Layer-2 activity and transaction fees (source: @VitalikButerin on X linking to @growthepie_eth, Nov 4, 2025).

According to @VitalikButerin, the ModExp precompile is the biggest ZK-EVM prover bottleneck, making affected blocks up to 50x harder to prove than average blocks (source: Vitalik Buterin, X, Nov 3, 2025). He said Ethereum should pursue an EIP to replace the ModExp precompile with computationally equivalent EVM code, which would make ModExp operations cost more gas (source: Vitalik Buterin, X, Nov 3, 2025). He added that few applications require ModExp since it is essentially used for RSA encryption and signing, and such apps can wrap the computation in a SNARK (source: Vitalik Buterin, X, Nov 3, 2025). For traders, this highlights a concrete proving-cost hotspot for ZK-EVM rollups that emulate EVM execution, linking ModExp-heavy workloads to elevated proving overhead on Ethereum L2s (source: Vitalik Buterin, X, Nov 3, 2025; source: Ethereum.org zkEVM documentation).

According to @VitalikButerin, incorruptibility is Ethereum’s most important property, as stated in his X post that links to a zkSync post.

According to @VitalikButerin (X/Twitter, Oct 26, 2025), a core blockchain property is that even a 51% attack cannot make an invalid block valid, so 51% of validators colluding or suffering a software bug cannot directly steal assets on-chain. According to @VitalikButerin (X/Twitter, Oct 26, 2025), this guarantee does not hold if users or protocols trust the validator set to perform tasks the chain does not control, where 51% of validators can collude to output a wrong answer with no recourse. According to @VitalikButerin (X/Twitter, Oct 26, 2025), this highlights trading-relevant risk for systems that depend on validator-majority outcomes for off-chain decisions or oracle-like answers, as the trust model shifts from objective consensus security to social trust in validators.

According to @VitalikButerin, Polygon hosts Polymarket and he called it probably the single most successful example of a not just boring finance app that has actually been successful and provided value, as posted on X on Oct 21, 2025. According to @VitalikButerin on X on Oct 21, 2025, Polygon has also hosted many applications requiring high levels of scalability. According to @VitalikButerin on X on Oct 21, 2025, Polygon invested early in ZK-EVM proving by bringing in Jordi Baylina's team and through other efforts, which he said greatly helped move the space forward. According to @VitalikButerin on X on Oct 21, 2025, Polygon built infrastructure for proof aggregation via AggLayer and other components. According to @VitalikButerin on X on Oct 21, 2025, he hopes Polygon can adopt off the shelf ZK technology to upgrade the PoS chain to full stage 1 and later stage 2 security guarantees from the Ethereum L1. According to @VitalikButerin on X on Oct 21, 2025, proving costs are around 0.0001 USD per transaction, ZK tech has improved substantially, and projects like Lighter_xyz show viability beyond Ethereum L1 scale. According to @VitalikButerin on X on Oct 21, 2025, the market structure has split into L2 teams and ZK teams as separate entities, citing examples such as SuccinctLabs, RiscZero, and brevis_zk. According to @VitalikButerin on X on Oct 21, 2025, he also highlighted Sandeep Nailwal's work with CryptoRelief in India, noted that Sandeep returned 190 million USD worth of SHIB to him enabling the Balvi open source anti airborne disease biotech program, added that CZ donated 10 million USD in BNB, and said he recently added about 20 million USD of his own funds without selling ETH.

According to @VitalikButerin, ZK and FHE teams should report performance as an overhead ratio—cryptographic compute time divided by raw compute time—rather than N ops/sec, enabling more hardware-independent comparisons and straightforward estimation by multiplying known raw runtimes, source: @VitalikButerin, Oct 18, 2025. He acknowledges ratios remain somewhat hardware-dependent due to heterogeneous operations, SIMD/parallelization, and memory access patterns, but argues the overhead factor is still the most informative single number for developers, source: @VitalikButerin, Oct 18, 2025. For trading due diligence on ETH rollups and privacy protocols, lower overhead ratios imply less efficiency loss versus raw compute, clarifying prover requirements and throughput planning once projects disclose these figures, supporting more comparable cross-project benchmarking, source: @VitalikButerin, Oct 18, 2025.

According to @VitalikButerin, Fusaka prioritizes safety and centers on PeerDAS to enable a live blockchain where no single node must download full block data, a design aimed at robust data availability for scaling. source: Vitalik Buterin on X, Sep 24, 2025. He explained that PeerDAS has each node request a small number of chunks to probabilistically verify that more than 50 percent of chunks are available, after which nodes can download those chunks and use erasure coding to recover the rest. source: Vitalik Buterin on X, Sep 24, 2025. In the first version, full block data must still exist in one place for initial broadcasting and for reconstruction when a publisher releases between 50 percent and less than 100 percent of a block, but these roles are untrusted and require only one honest actor to succeed even if many are dishonest. source: Vitalik Buterin on X, Sep 24, 2025. He added that future cell-level messaging and distributed block building will distribute even these remaining functions. source: Vitalik Buterin on X, Sep 24, 2025. Core developers will be highly cautious on testing, and the blob count will increase conservatively at first before becoming more aggressive over time. source: Vitalik Buterin on X, Sep 24, 2025. He stated PeerDAS is key to L2 scaling and eventually L1 scaling once the L1 gas limit is high enough to place L1 execution data into blobs, framing Fusaka and PeerDAS as central to Ethereum’s scaling roadmap. source: Vitalik Buterin on X, Sep 24, 2025.
