On September 13, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin delivered a speech at EthTokyo 2025, expressing his firm belief that the Layer 2 solution is the future development direction of Ethereum, and further proposed an ambitious goal: Ethereum plans to achieve 10 times next year. Capacity expansion will improve network throughput and accessibility while maintaining decentralization and security. Vitalik particularly emphasized the role of Asia. China developed an early PyEthereum client, volunteers translated white papers and documents into multiple languages, and community power pushed Ethereum global. He compared the styles of Chinese and Japanese developers: China projects are advancing rapidly and on a large scale; Japanese developers are better at trying new technologies. Looking to the future, Vitalik calls on more researchers and application developers to join and not just rely on the core team. He encourages Asian developers to focus on efficiency and security and believes AI will become an important learning tool. New technologies often "reset" the ecosystem, such as breakthroughs brought about by zero-knowledge proof. Vitalik predicts that the 2030s will usher in a new technological paradigm. Vitalik reiterated that Ethereum's mission is to connect Eastern and Western communities. In terms of financing models, he believes that ICO has better global advantages than traditional VCs, and proposed that ICO and DAO governance should be combined in the future to create a more open and transparent funding mechanism.
