According to @Tetranode, Vitalik Buterin says Ethereum’s combination of PeerDAS on mainnet and ZK-EVMs at alpha with production-quality performance means the scalability trilemma is solved with live running code, while safety work remains for ZK-EVMs; he expects small portions of the network to use ZK-EVMs in 2026.

Vitalik states PeerDAS is already live on mainnet and ZK-EVMs are production-quality on performance today, with the trilemma solution emerging from these components; he frames this as a fundamental shift to a decentralized, consensus-enabled, high-bandwidth network. Source: x.com/VitalikButerin/status/2007559523528233041. He outlines a rollout timeline: in 2026, non-ZK-EVM-dependent gas limit increases driven by BALs and ePBS with first opportunities to run a ZK-EVM node; in 2026–28, gas repricings, state structure changes, and execution payload moving into blobs; in 2027–30, further large gas limit increases as ZK-EVMs become the primary way to validate blocks.

According to @ai_9684xtpa on X, citing the hyperbot.network trader dashboard, a whale dubbed 1011 flash-crash short insider has seen their 29-day long portfolio flip to an unrealized profit of about $0.434 million, driven mainly by SOL strength. According to the same source, current positions include ETH 203,340.64 at a $3,147.39 entry (unrealized loss $1.238 million, portfolio value ~$617 million), BTC 1,000 at $91,506.7 (unrealized loss $0.356 million, value ~$89.86 million), and SOL 511,000 at $130.1911 (unrealized profit $2.076 million, value ~$66.03 million). According to @ai_9684xtpa and hyperbot.network, cumulative funding fees paid total $4.328 million, implying roughly -$3.894 million net when offsetting the current $0.434 million floating profit (calculation based on the source figures). According to the same source earlier in the day, the account’s total exposure was about $775 million with ETH near 80% weight, as ETH reclaimed $3,000 and the aggregate floating loss narrowed to $22.82 million while funding fees reached $4.126 million. According to @ai_9684xtpa and hyperbot.network, trading takeaways are that SOL outperformance is currently offsetting ETH and BTC drawdowns, the ETH $3,000 level remains a key PnL driver for this concentrated long book, and high perpetual-futures funding costs are materially pressuring returns, as evidenced by the multi-million-dollar funding outlay.

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.

Source: Gary Black on X, Jan 3, 2026.
