Ethereum 2029: Rebuilding the Ship of Theseus in Mid-Flight

Ethereum's "Strawmap" is a publicly developed, open-source plan to rebuild the network's core consensus and execution layers over about 3.5 years without downtime, targeting seven upgrades through 2029. The article says the roadmap aims to cut finality from roughly 15 minutes to 2 seconds and raise L1 capacity to 10,000 TPS, with ZK provers needing a 1,000x speedup that does not yet exist. It also describes a move from BLS signatures to hash-based quantum-resistant schemes, which it calls a central pillar of the 2029 roadmap.
