The newly published “Strawmap,” introduced by Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake, reads less like a conventional roadmap than a preemptive response plan. It sketches a path for Ethereum base-layer upgrades through the end of the decade, with seven forks by 2029 and five broad targets, including a faster Layer 1, much higher throughput, post-quantum security, privacy at the base layer, and a scaling architecture that keeps Layer 1 and Layer 2 moving together. In essence, Ethereum is trying to reduce long-term failure risk while improving the chain’s economic usefulness.
