Ethereum Unveils "Strawmap" Roadmap: Targeting 8-Second Finality Through Seven Hard Forks by 2029

From 16 minutes to 8 seconds — Ethereum's long-term roadmap isn't a single overhaul, but a ship-of-Theseus-style replacement of every piece of its consensus mechanism, one at a time.
Hiroshi Endo · August 10, 2026
On February 25, 2026, Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake published a long-term roadmap codenamed "strawmap," outlining the technical direction for seven hard forks from now through 2029. The document has been described as one of the most ambitious plans the Ethereum ecosystem has produced in years, organized around five core goals: compressing Layer 1 finality down to seconds, dramatically increasing Layer 1 throughput (targeting roughly 10,000 transactions per second, internally...

Consensus Mechanism
A consensus mechanism is the set of rules that lets mutually distrusting nodes scattered around the world agree on what the next entry in a shared ledger should be — the core reason a blockchain can function without a central authority.
What is a consensus mechanism, and how does it differ from ordinary voting? A consensus mechanism might sound on the surface like a group voting...

Light Client
A light client lets a user independently verify on-chain information using only a small set of block headers and cryptographic proofs, without downloading and storing the entire blockchain, and without blindly trusting a data provider.
What is a light client, and how does it differ from checking your balance in a typical wallet app? When most people check their balance or send a...

Sharding
Sharding splits a blockchain's data processing or verification workload into multiple parallel parts so different nodes each handle a portion, breaking through the fundamental bottleneck of requiring every node to process all data.
What is sharding, and how does it differ from the common assumption of "splitting a chain into multiple chains"? The earliest intuitive...
