I noticed that Vitalik Buterin just shared something really interesting about Ethereum's scaling roadmap. Basically, he explains why it can't be done all at once — you really need to think about both short-term and long-term.

For now, the upcoming Glamsterdam update will bring concrete changes. Block-level access lists will speed up validation, and the ePBS mechanism gives more time to process blocks properly. But what really struck me is the introduction of multidimensional gas. It completely changes the way resource consumption is thought of on the network — instead of putting everything into one basket, it truly differentiates what consumes what.

Vitalik emphasizes an important detail: during Glamsterdam, state creation will be separated from traditional gas. This means larger contracts will have much more flexibility to deploy. And the EVM remains compatible thanks to a "reservoir" system that keeps everything functional. It’s engineering genius, honestly.

In the long term, the vision is even more ambitious. Vitalik is betting on ZK-EVM and blobs. With PeerDAS, we aim for 8 MB/s data availability. Imagine — block data verified directly without downloading the entire thing. That’s truly sustainable scalability.

What’s interesting is that Vitalik isn’t trying to solve everything tomorrow. It’s a gradual progression toward multidimensional gas pricing, maintaining flexibility along the way. It shows real thought on how to balance performance and decentralization.
