Ethereum's 2026 Decentralization Roadmap

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has identified 2026 as a pivotal year for the network's decentralization agenda, addressing systemic compromises that have accumulated over a decade. While the core protocol remains trustless, critical infrastructure layers—including wallet verification, dApp architecture, and block production—have drifted toward centralization, creating vulnerabilities and data privacy concerns.
Buterin's vision centers on reversing these defaults through technical solutions already in development, targeting wallet RPC dependencies, server-heavy dApps, and concentrated block building. This represents a fundamental shift from convenience-first design to security-first principles, potentially strengthening Ethereum's value proposition against competing Layer 1 networks.
