Vitalik: the updated strawmap
00:28; two weeks earlier researchers met in Berlin to continue charting the protocol's long-term trajectory, following discussions with client teams in Svalbard in April.
The updated strawmap
nero_eth: what the strawmap focuses on
01:09: UX (shorter slots, frame transactions, faster finality, privacy, code size increases, EVM features), scaling (zkEVMs, new types of state, limiting state growth, new node types such as VOPS, a new state trie, data scaling and gas limit increases) and PQ/Lean.
Barnabé: compared with the February original
16:59: quick slots move from Hegotá to J*, further slot time reductions from K* to L*, and decoupled consensus is slotted for I*; his three-point summary, 16:02: faster finality and blocks, more throughput, post-quantum.

dankrad: 3 to 4 years is very slow
05:20; a fully proven STF, scaling to Gigagas and finality in seconds are exciting, but the aim should be about a year, which he thinks is realistic now with LLMs.
Community
Eli Ben-Sasson: his take on the new roadmap
20:38: recursive STARKs and more are good, with a few unclear things and some remaining problems.
Vitalik: 13 days, and so far no one has found it
17:26, encouraging people to broaden their search.
trent_vanepps: both sides of the issuance debate entrenched long ago and optimize for different priorities
