Viktor Trón, the first-ever employee of the Ethereum Foundation, was there before the project even launched. Now, as the ecosystem continues to expand, he shares his insights on its evolution, challenges, and future potential.
🚧 Ethereum’s Challenges & The Need for Reform
Ethereum has cemented itself as the backbone of Web3, but its complexity remains a major hurdle for developers. From scalability issues to the overwhelming number of layers (L1, L2, states, blocks), the learning curve remains steep. Despite this, Ethereum thrives due to its first-mover advantage and the charismatic leadership of Vitalik Buterin, which continues to attract new talent.
Viktor fully supports Vitalik’s call for governance reform at Ethereum Foundation, stating that change is long overdue and necessary for better decision-making and innovation.
🔮 The Future of Ethereum & Web3
For Web3 to reach mass adoption, Ethereum must prioritize developer-friendly tools and simplify infrastructure. The space is evolving rapidly, with several key areas leading the charge:
1️⃣ Finance & DeFi – The cornerstone of Web3, enabling decentralized financial systems.
2️⃣ Decentralized Science (DeSci) – Bringing transparency and open collaboration to research.
3️⃣ Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) – Expanding Web3 beyond the digital realm.
4️⃣ Media & Social Networks – Decentralizing content creation and online communities.
Viktor also highlights a crucial trend: Real-World Assets (RWA) and crypto cards (like Revolut & WhiteBIT Nova) as key bridges between Web3 and the mainstream economy. These innovations could push blockchain adoption beyond digital-native users and into everyday life.
💡 His bold prediction? "Ethereum and Web3 will dominate the world." 🌍
