The Splurge is the sixth step in Ethereum's roadmap, focusing on upgrades that don't fit into the previous five steps.
The goals of The Splurge include reaching a stable 'endgame state' for EVM, offering more secure and convenient accounts with account abstraction, enhancing transaction fee economics and scalability, and researching advanced cryptography.
The Splurge roadmap includes EVM improvements, account abstraction, EIP-1559 improvements, verifiable delay functions (VDFs), and the future of cryptography.
The Future of Ethereum follows a six-step roadmap, and The Splurge is the last step in this roadmap.
