Woofun AI reports that DeFi researcher Ignas expressed conditional optimism for ETH, contingent upon the Ethereum Foundation executing the 'simplified Ethereum' roadmap released by Vitalik Buterin. The plan addresses community concerns regarding L1 execution control, privacy, quantum resistance, and second-level finality, though token economics remain unresolved. Key features are scheduled for post-2028 implementation, with finality targeted for 2029. Ignas warned that delivery delays combined with a bear market could negatively impact ETH prices, citing competition from Tempo and Canton in real-world assets and institutional adoption.
