Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has added a new stage to the Ethereum technical roadmap, one that aims to improve the Ethereum network’s censorship resistance and decentralisation. Buterin revealed the Ethereum network’s new plans in a Nov. 5 Twitter post, which introduced “The Scourge” in a now expanded six-part technical roadmap. Following the switch to a proof-of-stake (PoS) network on September 15, Ethereum has been in the second stage — “The Surge” — with the goal of reaching 100,000 transactions per second via rollups. The new third stage, “The Scourge,” has been added to the updated technical roadmap, and will be followed by the previously-known stages, The Verge, The Purge, and The Splurge.
