Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has shared his vision for the future of the Ethereum network, highlighting potential innovations in the next 10 years. In a recent appearance on the Bankless podcast, Buterin discussed the possibility of Ethereum nodes being operated on mobile phones. Currently, running an <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/vitalik-buterin-simplifying-ethereum-nodes-for-decentralization/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ethereum node</a> requires sophisticated computing, but Buterin believes advancements in light computations could make mobile node operations feasible.

According to Buterin, future mobile phone operators will be able to download and verify data in under 12 seconds. By solving elliptic curve equations to verify a snark, node verification will become much more streamlined. The challenge, however, remains with managing the large amount of data involved. Buterin is optimistic that improvements in mobile storage capabilities will support this vision, making Ethereum more accessible to everyday users.

Ethereum has consistently pushed the boundaries of blockchain technology, being the first smart contract platform and setting standards for other Layer-1 networks. Over the years, it has introduced several key upgrades, including its transition from proof of work to proof of stake through the Merge.

The protocol continues to evolve, with recent upgrades like Dencun, which reduced gas fees on its Layer-2 networks to improve usability. With many more upgrades planned, Ethereum aims to maintain its competitive edge over rival networks such as Solana and Cardano, positioning itself as a leader in blockchain innovation.
