Interesting discussion from Vitalik Buterin about Ethereum scaling. It turns out that developers plan to do this in two phases, not just as many think.

Vitalik Buterin explained in detail how the network will develop. Short-term plans are related to the Glamsterdam upgrade. There will be block-level access lists for faster verification, an ePBS mechanism that provides more time for block verification, and a recalculation of gas based on actual execution time. Sounds logical.

But the most interesting part is multi-dimensional gas. Vitalik Buterin believes this will help prevent network state bloat. During Glamsterdam, state creation costs will be separated from the regular gas limit. This means deploying large contracts will become cheaper. The EVM will remain compatible through a reservoir mechanism.

As Ethereum develops, it will gradually move to multi-dimensional gas pricing. This will ensure long-term stability with system flexibility.

Vitalik Buterin’s long-term strategy focuses on ZK-EVM and blobs. Through PeerDAS, blobs can reach 8 MB per second in data availability. This will allow direct block data verification without full download. Iterative improvements are ongoing, and this looks like a serious plan for the years ahead.
