Title: Vitalik Lays Out Ethereum 2.0 Roadmap In Taiwan
Post by: johnjin on November 27, 2017, 02:43:46 PM
Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, has laid out the future plan of the Blockchain technology-based platform at a conference in Taipei, dealing with some of the biggest problems in Ethereum and suggesting how the future might shape up. Having already provided a substantial amount of information, the new update from Buterin gives more specific details

The statement from Buterin began with a sort of tongue-in-cheek commentary on the many Ethereum replacements that have come on the market in recent months.
Buterin continued by describing the four areas where he sees a need for improvement on the current Ethereum platform. These were privacy, consensus safety, smart contract safety and scalability.
For each of the first three, the Ethereum co-founder sees a solution that is actively developing. In the area of privacy, the Byzantium hard fork has created the ability for zk-SNARKs, a solution that Vitalik sees as a viable one with continued implementation. For consensus safety, the recent development, nicknamed ‘Casper,’ should bring solutions, and for smart contract safety, Viper and formal verification can produce real solutions.

I hope these updates that explain only half in jest give priority to security vulnerabilities. There are many problems such as the freezing problem in the latest parity wallets and account stealing situations. A brand-new world of informatics is being built on Ethereum. but frankly there are more roads to be taken.
