Buterin names programmable privacy and recursive STARKs as Ethereum's research path
- —Buterin proposed programmable privacy and recursive STARKs as a long-term Ethereum research direction
- —He cited SNARKs, STARKs, FHE and indistinguishability obfuscation as key tools
- —EIP-8288 bundles transaction dependencies into a single recursive STARK; it remains a draft
- —The Ethereum Foundation targets post-quantum infrastructure around 2029
Why it matters: It sets Ethereum's direction on privacy and quantum resistance, though no protocol changes are imminent.
