Ethereum Foundation Outlines Potential 10,000 TPS and Quantum Resistance Goals for Future Scalability

Key Points

1. Ethereum aims to increase transaction throughput to 10,000 TPS using ZK-rollups and sharding to improve speed and reduce fees.

2. Quantum resistance is being developed to protect the network from future quantum computer attacks, ensuring long-term security.

3. The Ethereum Foundation coordinates phased upgrades ('The Surge,' 'The Verge,' 'The Purge,' 'The Splurge') to address scalability, efficiency, and security.

4. Current Ethereum metrics show ~30 TPS, with a target of 10,000 TPS, and a shift from classical cryptography to quantum-resistant methods.

5. Scalability improvements are essential for mass adoption, enabling efficient use in DeFi, NFTs, and decentralized applications by reducing gas fees and confirmation times.
