Ethereum: Vitalik Updates Roadmap on Strawmap

Vitalik Buterin overlaid his 2023 roadmap on the current Strawmap, revealing major shifts toward strong privacy via keyed nonces and lean privacy pools plus aggressive post-quantum scaling with leanSPHINCS and zkzk frames.

Deprioritized items include VDFs and many EVM improvements while Verkle trees gave way to unified BT and PBT constructions; new additions such as blob and gas futures, native rollups, and RISC-V based ISAs reflect priorities absent from the prior plan.

With ETH at $1876.01 testing lower Bollinger support near $1896.01, the bearish MACD death cross at 2.35 and EMA50 resistance at $1902.68 suggest continued downside pressure until price reclaims the 50-EMA, while neutral RSI at 35.44 leaves room for a relief bounce before any sustained recovery.
