이더리움(ETH) 창시자 비탈릭 부테린(Vitalik Buterin)이 X를 통해 “영지식 이더리움버추얼머신(ZK-EVM)이 프로덕션 수준의 성능을 갖춘 알파 단계에 진입하고, 푸사카의 핵심 기능인 피어(Peer)DAS가 메인넷에 적용되면서 이더리움은 근본적으로 새로운 형태의 탈중앙 네트워크로 진화하고 있다”고 밝혔다. 이어 “기존의 분산 네트워크 유형은 ‘토렌트형(2000년)’과 ‘비트코인형(2009년)’으로 구분되는데, 토렌트는 대역폭은 높지만 합의는 없으며, 비트코인은 합의는 있지만 대역폭이 낮고 작업이 분산되지 않고 단순 복제되는 구조다. 반면, 이더리움은 피어DAS와 ZK-EVM의 조합으로 ‘탈중앙화·합의·고대역폭’ 세 요소를 모두 갖춘 네트워크로 진화하고 있다”고 강조했다. 부테린은 앞으로 4년간 이더리움의 기술적 전망을 아래와 같이 전망했다.
-2026년: ZK-EVM 비의존적 가스 한도 상승, ZK-EVM 노드의 초기 가동 가능
-2026~2028년: 상태 구조 개편, 실행 페이로드 블롭(blob)화, 가스 요율 재설계 등 안정화 작업
-2027~2030년: ZK-EVM이 기본 블록 검증 방식으로 자리잡으며 추가적인 대규모 가스 한도 확장

비탈릭 "이더리움, ZK-EVM·피어DAS로 '새로운 형태의 탈중앙 네트워크' 진입"

Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum (ETH), announced through X that “Ethereum is evolving into a fundamentally new form of decentralized network as the zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (ZK-EVM) enters the alpha stage with production-level performance, and PeerDAS, a core feature of Pusaka, is implemented on the mainnet.” He continued, “Existing decentralized network types are divided into ‘torrent type (2000)’ and ‘Bitcoin type (2009)’. Torrents have high bandwidth but no consensus, and Bitcoin has consensus but low bandwidth, and work is not distributed but simply replicated. On the other hand, Ethereum is evolving into a network that has all three elements of ‘decentralization, consensus, and high bandwidth’ through the combination of PeerDAS and ZK-EVM.” Buterin predicted Ethereum’s technical outlook for the next four years as follows. -2026: ZK-EVM independent gas limit increase, initial operation of ZK-EVM nodes possible -2026-2028: Stabilization work including state restructuring, blobization of execution payloads, and gas rate redesign -2027-2030: ZK-EVM becomes the default block verification method, and additional large-scale gas limit expansion

On January 7, 2026, a seemingly absurd yet consistently effective intelligence indicator attracted global attention. According to social media monitoring, pizza orders near the Pentagon surged by 1250% in the past 48 hours, almost double the 700% increase seen before the Venezuelan military operation. This is the "Pentagon Pizza Index," a remarkable indicator, and the hidden meaning behind it...

The Pentagon's pizza index surges 1250%: Who will be next Venezuela?

Despite market pessimism that the era of airdrops is over, a select few still managed to earn five- to six-figure profits in 2025. This article shares the most promising opportunities for 2026 [...]
The article, titled "Targeting Six Figures: The Most Worthwhile Airdrop Projects in 2026," was originally published on BlockTempo, the most influential blockchain ABMedia media.

Aiming for a six-figure sum, the most worthwhile airdrop projects of 2026 are all here.

Ethereum price has confirmed a bearish failed auction near $3,300, signaling acceptance below resistance and increasing the risk of a deeper corrective move toward lower support.
Summary
