Vitalik Buterin (@vitalik.eth): [Farcast] ...

[Farcast] ... * Security (see also: https://verified-zkevm.org , which @alexanderlhicks has done a lot to get to its current state) * Fully verifying light clients that can work on even the smallest devices * Quantum-resistance (BTW this item is also one of the big reasons why "no AA, just keep EOAs + 7702" is NOT a valid option for ethereum long-term, we have to actually abstract the verification function as well, eg. see EIP-7701) The beam chain roadmap delivers on all of these items. It is a necessary complement to all of the important short-term work that we need to get done. And in addition to the beam chain, @drakefjustin has been invaluable in helping the verified-zkevm team spin up, as well as all kinds of other cryptography and ZK initiatives. We have excellent researchers and I am very proud of them. (And also excellent non-researchers) https://x.com/fede_intern/status/1884764387006705898
