Ethereum roadmap outlines cryptographic world computer and 2027 Hegota upgrade
Vitalik Buterin posted a blog on September 27, 2026 describing Ethereum's shift toward a cryptographic world computer.
- The roadmap adds zero‑knowledge proofs (SNARKs, STARKs) and built‑in privacy.
- The Hegota fork is planned for 2027 and may be the last familiar upgrade.
- Future upgrades target post‑quantum signatures and formal verification to enhance security.
