## Recent evidence

- [confirms] Ethereum Researchers Detail "Lean" Rebuild, Betting Throughput and Quantum Resistance Can Coexist (2026-07-07): New Ethereum research posts flesh out Vitalik Buterin's 'Lean' rebuild of consensus, data, and execution around simpler provable components, advancing the concrete post-Glamsterdam throughput roadmap rather than leaving it as intent.
- [confirms] Ethereum Researchers Revisit an Old Idea to Fight State Bloat: Native UTXOs (2026-07-06): A new Ethereum Research proposal would add Bitcoin-style unspent-transaction-output accounting to Ethereum to curb permanent state growth and improve stateless verification, extending the base-layer scaling and efficiency agenda.
