Justin Drake of the Ethereum Foundation has expanded the 'Strawmap' technical roadmap, outlining the network's evolution through 2029. The plan features seven major scheduled forks aimed at achieving a massive throughput capacity of 1 Gigagas per second. Crucially, the updated roadmap now specifies five distinct goals for Layer 1 (L1) development and introduces post-quantum security as a core technical objective. These additions sit alongside plans for native privacy features for ETH transfers, addressing long-term confidentiality and security concerns. Analysts believe these detailed milestones reinforce Ethereum's competitive edge and long-term sustainability against rival networks. While these ambitious goals boost investor confidence, the multi-year execution timeline suggests that market impacts will likely unfold incrementally.
