And my personal focuses for 2025: 1. Ethereum, particularly: (i) L1 long-term roadmap (eg. single-slot finality, long-term VM, statelessness, security / resilience / decentralization) (ii) full-stack security, open source and privacy: ensuring Ethereum is usable in a way that is highly secure, free of centralized intermediaries and privacy-friendly, incl higher up the stack (apps, wallets...) 2. Big-picture d/acc (see https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2025/01/05/dacc2.html ): * comms tools, info and social layer, mechanism design eg. governance, pubgoods/open source funding * cryptography, OS, hardware, physical infra, bio defense Meanwhile areas that are important but where I am relatively less involved (and others excel): * @gakonst @ansgar.eth @dankrad and others are taking on practicals of short-term scaling (eg. 10x the L1 gaslimit within 2026) * p2p, block construction, other research areas * @hww @tkstanczak are leading many EF matters * proven app layer categories (eg. defi, payments/savings)

@juli
What do you think about the importance of $eth adoption km the ecosystem & potential incentives for eth alignment & $eth usage? Do you prefer to keep it as Social peer pressure or would it make Sense to incentivize certain behavior from (sub) economies/apps/users?
