Vitalik Buterin: the original vision of the role of L2 in Ethereum no longer makes sense. A new approach is needed.
The reason is that progress toward stage two for L2 has turned out to be much slower and more complex, while L1 is scaling rapidly — fees are low, and gas limits will increase significantly in 2026.

Google analysts have urged a faster transition to post-quantum cryptography, as their new estimates suggest that fewer than 500,000 physical qubits would be needed to successfully break the security of Bitcoin or Ethereum — about 20 times lower than previous estimates.
CZ urged not to panic over the quantum threat to cryptocurrencies
According to him, blockchains will be able to transition to quantum-resistant encryption algorithms. However, such a transition will be complex: updates in decentralized networks are difficult to coordinate, which could lead to disputes or the emergence of forks.
Some abandoned projects may not be updated at all, creating risks of bugs and vulnerabilities. Users who self-custody their crypto will need to transfer their funds to new wallets.
Zhao also addressed the issue of “dormant” bitcoins, including coins believed to belong to Satoshi Nakamoto. In his view, if they remain inactive, the question may arise of freezing them so they don’t end up in the hands of whoever first manages to break the encryption.

📉 TWT dropped 30% yesterday after a whale sold 4.2 million TWT, which had been held for three years.
From its average level of $1, this “stable” token has already fallen by 65%. The sell-off is being attributed to the actions of Trust Wallet’s new CEO — specifically, his silence regarding the token. The community is demanding answers about TWT’s future, but he has remained silent.
The situation escalated to the point where a developer from the Mon wallet commented, stating that development plans for TWT have not been canceled, and that the new CEO and the entire leadership are staying silent for legal reasons.
