#V 神 recently made a very significant judgment on X—
Ethereum is solving the "Blockchain Trilemma."
If this finally comes to fruition,
the competitive logic among $ETH vs $SOL vs $BSC could be completely rewritten.
1. Why has the Public Chain Trilemma always been unsolvable?
This is a classic problem proposed by V God in 2017:
👉 Decentralization / Security / High Performance, you can only choose two.
$BTC BTC: Decentralization + Security, sacrificing performance
SOL: Performance + Security, sacrificing decentralization
ETH (past): Decentralization + Security, at the cost of high Gas and slow experience
This is also why ETH has been criticized:
"Very good, but not user-friendly."
2. V God’s solution: PeerDAS + ZK-EVM
This time, it’s not just a pie-in-the-sky plan; it’s a solution already coded and beginning to go live.
🔹 PeerDAS (to be launched on mainnet by the end of 2025)
Core statement:
Nodes don’t need to download the entire block to verify safely.
Previously, running an ETH node required hundreds of GB of data.
Now, only a small part of data needs to be randomly verified.
👉 The result is simple:
Ordinary computers can run nodes = decentralization is not reduced but enhanced.
🔹 ZK-EVM (entering Alpha)
Traditional verification:
Each node re-executes the transaction.
ZK-EVM:
Uses zero-knowledge proofs to directly prove “the result is correct.”
Verification speed is dozens of times faster.
Costs are significantly reduced.
Security is stronger.
In summary:
No need to do the calculations, you already know you got it right.
3. The true effect of the combined approach
When PeerDAS + ZK-EVM both succeed:
Decentralization ✅
Security ✅
Gas limit greatly increased ✅
Costs decreased, speed improved ✅
👉 The Trilemma is simultaneously satisfied.
This is also why V God dares to say:
“We have already conquered the biggest problem in blockchain.”
4. Roadmap (2026–2030) (Key points)
2026
Glamsterdam: Optimize MEV, reduce validator centralization risks
Hegota: Optimize state storage, further lower node entry barriers
2027–2030
ZK-EVM becomes the mainstream verification method
Throughput and user experience will see a “generational leap”
The goal is very clear:
👉 Transform ETH from “expensive and slow” to “fast, cheap, and even more decentralized.”
5. What does this mean for us?
In plain language 👇
Gas fees might really come down
Small DeFi and on-chain operations will no longer be “unaccounted for”
On-chain experience will undergo a qualitative change
DeFi / NFT / GameFi will no longer be hindered by performance
Public chain competition landscape will change
If $ETH is also fast, cheap, and safer,
then the core selling points of $SOL and $BSC won’t be so strong anymore.
Of course, the risks are also clear:
👉 The roadmap is grand, but whether the implementation will be delayed remains unknown.
Final words:
But at least, this time,
Ethereum is not chasing the wind, but completing its underlying capabilities.
On-chain data is also very honest:
Someone is quietly adding more $ETH.
2026 might truly be a critical turning point for ETH.
