Woofun AI reports that Vitalik Buterin confirmed the finalization of the "Simplifying Ethereum" roadmap at a Berlin conference. This initiative spans 3 to 4 years through multiple forks, replacing core components with recursive STARK verification and quantum-resistant cryptography.

The plan introduces multi-dimensional gas pricing and expands state capacity to 100TB via UTXO and ring buffers. Privacy becomes a primary design goal, while transaction fees may drop by over 10 times. The Glasterdam fork will first raise gas limits, preceding the H-star Hegota fork as the final pre-simplification step.
