According to @VitalikButerin, the Ethereum Foundation historically emphasized cryptoeconomics, BFT consensus, and blocks while underweighting the p2p networking layer (source: @VitalikButerin, X, Dec 8, 2025). According to @VitalikButerin, that gap has closed and PeerDAS is evidence of improved p2p capabilities on the ETH network (source: @VitalikButerin, X, Dec 8, 2025). According to @VitalikButerin, he credited @raulvk and others for contributing to PeerDAS and the networking work (source: @VitalikButerin, X, Dec 8, 2025).

According to @VitalikButerin, Ethereum needs a trustless onchain gas futures market—a prediction market on the BASEFEE—to create a forward-looking price signal for network fees. Source: @VitalikButerin on X, Dec 6, 2025. He states such contracts would allow users to hedge against future gas prices and effectively prepay for a specific quantity of gas within defined time intervals. Source: @VitalikButerin on X, Dec 6, 2025. He adds that while fees are low today, uncertainty remains over the next two years, and he expects fee relief from higher gas limits via BAL, ePBS, and later ZK-EVM, making BASEFEE futures useful for expectation discovery and risk management.

According to @VitalikButerin, Ethereum needs a trustless onchain gas futures or prediction market on the BASEFEE to provide a clear signal of market expectations for future gas fees and to let users hedge gas price risk, effectively prepaying for gas usage. source: @VitalikButerin on X, Dec 6, 2025. He adds that while fees are low today, a futures market would address concerns about fees in two years as scalability advances via gaslimit increases from BAL, ePBS, and later ZK-EVM, enabling users to lock in specific gas quantities for defined time intervals. source: @VitalikButerin on X, Dec 6, 2025.

According to @VitalikButerin, governments should internalize externalities with simple, consistent pricing such as a per‑litre fuel tax or a mileage times weight^4 formula for road wear, rather than using byzantine policies. source: @VitalikButerin on X, Dec 5, 2025. For positioning, Ethereum uses Proof‑of‑Stake and reduced energy use by about 99.95% after The Merge, while Bitcoin’s Proof‑of‑Work remains electricity‑intensive, a key difference when markets evaluate energy externalities. source: Ethereum Foundation; Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance CBECI. Traders should monitor carbon and fuel tax policy headlines because carbon pricing can raise electricity costs where implemented, which impacts energy‑intensive PoW mining economics more than PoS validation. source: International Energy Agency; Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance.

According to @VitalikButerin, rough calculations from average Bitcoin difficulty indicate the network’s cumulative mining has very recently crossed the 2**96 total hashes milestone, source: Vitalik Buterin on X, Dec 5, 2025. According to @VitalikButerin, this crossing is a strong reason to insist on close-to 128-bit security for cryptographic systems and he credits Justin Drake for advocating this standard, source: Vitalik Buterin on X, Dec 5, 2025. According to @VitalikButerin, traders can use this 128-bit security baseline as a concrete reference when evaluating the disclosed security parameters of chains, bridges, and protocols relative to Bitcoin’s proof-of-work, source: Vitalik Buterin on X, Dec 5, 2025.

According to @VitalikButerin on X on Dec 3, 2025, Ethereum introduced hard invariants in 2021 via EIP-2929 and EIP-3529, raising SLOAD gas costs and reducing gas refunds. According to @VitalikButerin, the 2024 Dencun upgrade nerfed SELFDESTRUCT to further harden the protocol. According to @VitalikButerin, Ethereum will enforce a 16,777,216 gas per transaction limit in 2025, establishing a clear ceiling for single-transaction computation. According to @VitalikButerin, these changes add hard invariants that improve protocol security and future adaptability. According to @VitalikButerin, these protocol rules directly bound how gas-intensive on-chain trades, arbitrage, and liquidations can be executed on Ethereum, making them operationally relevant for traders.

According to @VitalikButerin, PeerDAS in Fusaka literally is sharding, allowing Ethereum to reach consensus on blocks without any single node seeing more than a tiny fraction of the data (source: Vitalik Buterin on X, Dec 3, 2025). He adds the design is robust to 51% attacks through client-side probabilistic verification (source: Vitalik Buterin on X, Dec 3, 2025). He characterizes this as a significant development for Ethereum (ETH) (source: Vitalik Buterin on X, Dec 3, 2025).

According to @VitalikButerin, he posted the single word 'fusaka' on X on Dec 3, 2025, with no links or context and no mention of Ethereum ETH upgrades, EIPs, or code changes, so based on the post alone it offers no explicit trading catalyst or fundamental signal; source: https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/1996335948137926695

According to @VitalikButerin, "You can just build on L1," posted on X on Nov 30, 2025, emphasizing Ethereum’s base layer as a place to deploy applications, source: @VitalikButerin on X, Nov 30, 2025. On Ethereum mainnet, smart contracts execute directly on the base layer under Ethereum’s consensus security, source: Ethereum.org documentation on smart contracts and security. On-chain demand increases gas fees and burns ETH through EIP-1559’s base fee mechanism, directly linking mainnet activity to ETH supply dynamics, source: Ethereum.org EIP-1559 explainer and gas fees guide. Layer 2 rollups post transaction data to L1 and rely on Ethereum for settlement and security, clarifying how L1 usage and rollup activity are structurally connected, source: Ethereum.org Layer 2 documentation. For trading, the concrete on-chain metrics tied to potential L1 usage shifts are gas price, base fee burn rate, and the net ETH supply trend, source: Ethereum.org EIP-1559 explainer and gas fees guide.

According to @VitalikButerin, Zcash should resist token voting because he considers token voting worse than the project’s status quo and warns that privacy would erode under median token holder preferences, source: Vitalik Buterin on X, 2025-11-30, twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/1995063062165135675. Zcash’s current governance relies on the Zcash Improvement Proposal process and the Zcash Foundation’s Community Advisory Panel for sentiment polling rather than token-weighted on-chain voting, so any move toward token voting would surface via ZIP drafts and ZF announcements, source: Zcash Foundation governance page zfnd.org/governance and Zcash Improvement Proposals site zips.z.cash. For traders, this identifies governance design as a concrete catalyst path to watch for ZEC, with relevant proposals and ballots documented in ZIPs and CAP records, source: zfnd.org/governance and zips.z.cash.

According to @VitalikButerin, encrypted messaging such as Signal is critical for protecting digital privacy, and the two next steps for the space are permissionless account creation and metadata privacy (source: @VitalikButerin on X, Nov 26, 2025). According to @VitalikButerin, Session and SimpleX are highlighted as messaging apps advancing these priorities, indicating focused technical momentum in privacy-preserving communications (source: @VitalikButerin on X, Nov 26, 2025). According to @VitalikButerin, no tokens, on-chain integrations, or price-related announcements are mentioned in the post, so there is no direct market action specified by the source (source: @VitalikButerin on X, Nov 26, 2025). According to @VitalikButerin, traders tracking the privacy-messaging narrative should note the explicit emphasis on permissionless onboarding and metadata minimization as the core signals from this update (source: @VitalikButerin on X, Nov 26, 2025).

According to @VitalikButerin, Ethereum should see continued but more targeted and less uniform growth next year. source: Vitalik Buterin, X, Nov 26, 2025. He cited one possible path as a 5x increase to the network gas limit paired with a 5x increase in gas costs for operations that are relatively inefficient to process. source: Vitalik Buterin, X, Nov 26, 2025. He also referenced potential targets for such gas cost increases as his current view. source: Vitalik Buterin, X, Nov 26, 2025.

According to @VitalikButerin, showing an account’s country will bring many short-term positives, but in the medium term sophisticated actors will spoof locations by renting real users’ identities, weakening the signal’s reliability (source: @VitalikButerin on X, Nov 23, 2025). For traders, this implies an initial sentiment lift for anti-bot and geo-label defenses on crypto social platforms, followed by diminishing effectiveness as evasion rises, making sustained alpha from simple country tags unlikely without stronger verification (source: @VitalikButerin on X, Nov 23, 2025). Within the ETH ecosystem, the comment suggests higher strategic value for sybil-resistant, proof-of-personhood and decentralized identity primitives over naive geo-labeling, so monitoring on-chain identity activity and proof-of-human adoption may be more informative than country badges for medium-term positioning (source: @VitalikButerin on X, Nov 23, 2025). Risk-wise, traders should discount medium-term claims that country labels alone can curb manipulation and prioritize signals tied to verification costs and identity-binding mechanisms when assessing crypto social and identity narratives (source: @VitalikButerin on X, Nov 23, 2025).

According to @VitalikButerin, operating systems should offer adversarial UI plugins that override ride and delivery app interfaces to show the all-inclusive total price per item, covering taxes, miscellaneous fees, and expected tip to protect users’ interests, source: https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/1991457123604312221.
