#数字资产市场动态 Ethereum Faces Major Changes?



There are reports that Ethereum will initiate a round of deep technological iterations around 2026. This upgrade is ambitious—it aims to completely break the compromises and limitations accumulated over the past decade, restoring the blockchain’s rightful autonomy and true decentralization.

What will happen in the next two years? Let’s take a look at the rumored major upgrade directions:

First is the significant lowering of the node participation threshold. Currently, running a full node requires hundreds of GBs of storage and considerable computing resources, which keeps many individual users out. In the future, it may be possible for ordinary computers and even smartphones to easily participate in validation, truly dismantling the monopoly of a few major players.

Next is the self-protection capability of wallets and accounts. Imagine if you lose your private key, and the wallet can recover assets through a social recovery mechanism—this would be a huge improvement in user security.

There’s also the privacy aspect—transaction records could become truly anonymous, making payments more private. This is fundamentally a boost to financial freedom. Coupled with on-chain data and block structure becoming harder to tamper with or forge, users can verify authenticity independently rather than relying on trust in a centralized node.

Finally, resistance to censorship and network stability—maximized censorship resistance means on-chain activities are completely free, and eliminating single points of failure ensures the network never goes offline.

Once these upgrades are implemented, Ethereum’s positioning as the "world computer" will be more accurate. From nodes, wallets, to the blockchain layer, all are attempting to break the constraints of centralization. Will this trigger the next bull market? That’s a question left for the market to answer.

Running nodes on mobile? Sounds great, but let's see it actually happen first. I've heard this kind of pitch too many times. I'm really a bit worried about social recovery. Is this helping users or creating new risk points? Maxing out privacy actually makes it harder to trace fund flows. What does regulation think about this? Is the 2026 timeline too optimistic? Bitcoin upgrades have been delayed repeatedly. But if these things can really be achieved, ETH would truly need to turn things around. Honestly, it's still too centralized.

Another bunch of technical fantasies, let's wait until 2026 to see --- Running nodes on mobile phones? Just listen, the actual difficulty is far beyond imagination --- Privacy + censorship resistance, this time finally hits the point --- Social recovery mechanisms sound good, but I'm afraid it will become a new centralized vulnerability --- Maximize censorship resistance? Feels like you're just talking about hype again --- I'm most interested in the lowering of node thresholds, the rest is nonsense --- Never disconnect? Ha, Solana also said that back then --- Two years can change the world, I don't believe you --- Instead of fantasizing about 2026, it's better to think about where the coin price will go next year --- Breaking centralized restrictions sounds good, but true decentralization has never needed upgrades to save it

2026? Bro, how long do we have to wait? Feels like it's just another empty promise.

The social recovery mechanism sounds good, but I'm worried it might become a new centralized entry point.

Running nodes on mobile? Sounds good, but the real implementation still depends on the actual outcome. --- Recovering private keys through social recovery? That really hits the pain point—how many people have been screwed over by a moment of carelessness? --- Privacy and anonymous transactions? If that really happens, the regulators' faces would turn green, haha. --- We still have to wait until 2026. How many things will happen in these two years? Hopefully not just PPT upgrades. --- Full resistance to censorship is true liberation, but at what cost? Will on-chain security actually become worse? --- Bull market? Wake up, brothers. Technical upgrades ≠ price increases. This logic needs to develop slowly. --- From mobile to privacy to anti-censorship, it feels like Ethereum is really transforming, not just patching things up.
