<h4><strong>In a recent <a href="https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2024/10/14/futures1.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blog post</a>, Buterin shared his thoughts on how Ethereum can improve in a world where it uses a system called proof-of-stake (PoS) instead of the old proof-of-work model.</strong></h4> 
<p>This transition took place in 2022 and was a highly anticipated event for the crypto community. Let’s explore more about this important post from Vitalik Buterin.</p> 
<h5><strong>Buterin Outlines Plans for Faster Transactions and Better Security</strong></h5> 
<p>Buterin highlighted several important areas where <a href="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/?s=ethereum" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ethereum</a> could grow. One of the biggest issues right now is the time it takes to complete a transaction. Currently, it can take about 15 minutes, which can be a real headache for users, especially since Ethereum is the most heavily used blockchain network. This slow speed can lead to congestion and frustration.</p> 
<p>Buterin believes that making transactions faster is crucial for Ethereum’s future. He proposed a solution called single-slot finality, which could significantly reduce transaction times, making Ethereum much more user-friendly and competitive.</p>

<p>Another key point Buterin made was about making Ethereum easier for more people to use. Right now, the minimum amount of Ether you need to <a href="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/?s=ethereum+stake" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stake</a> to help secure the network is 32 ETH, which is a lot for many people. Buterin suggested lowering this requirement to just 1 ETH.</p> 
<p>By doing this, more people could participate in Ethereum’s growth and governance, helping to decentralize the network. This is important because having too much control in one place can be risky.</p> 
<h5><strong>More About Ethereum’s Future</strong></h5> 
<p>Buterin also talked about the need to protect Ethereum from potential attacks. He mentioned a cryptographic technique called single secret leader election, which would make it harder for attackers to disrupt the network. Additionally, he emphasized the importance of preparing for future threats from quantum computing, which could challenge Ethereum’s security.</p>

<p>Buterin’s ideas come just before Ethereum looks ahead to its next upgrade, called the <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/explained/ethereums-next-upgrade-prague-electra-pectra-explained" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prague-Electra (Pectra)</a>, expected to go live in early 2025. He believes that improving security and accessibility will help ensure Ethereum remains a strong player in the ever-changing world of cryptocurrency.</p>
