Techub News reports that Ethereum's long-term vision is increasingly moving beyond incremental upgrades toward more fundamental changes to its core architecture. As the network continues to expand and support a growing ecosystem of decentralized applications, developers and researchers are exploring whether achieving Ethereum's ultimate goals of global scalability, security, and decentralization requires rebuilding certain components of its foundational layer rather than merely optimizing the existing system. To support long-term growth, Ethereum's evolution has moved beyond incremental upgrades and is entering a phase of structural restructuring. Soubhik Deb, head of EigenCloud research, mentioned on the X platform that the initiative often referred to as "Lean Consensus" (formerly Beamchain) marks the beginning of Ethereum's final stage.
