Vitalik Buterin revealed plans to scale the Ethereum blockchain by 10 times in the next year at the ETHGlobal event in Prague.
Buterin emphasized the importance of gradual scaling to ensure security, privacy, and decentralization, with the timeline for completion set at a year and a half.
The Ethereum network's stagnation and Ether price fluctuations have led to calls for immediate layer 1 scaling, but Buterin believes in taking time for network improvements.
Despite the scaling plans, Ether price has shown a slight drop, trading at $2,495 with a 0.82% decrease, while the market cap is down by more than 1% and the trading volume is up by 15%.
