2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival Highlights: Vitalik Announces Ethereum's Roadmap for the Next 5 Years, Redefining the Underlying Boundaries of Web3


At the opening ceremony of the Hong Kong Web3 Carnival, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin delivered a key keynote speech, systematically revealing the future development direction of Ethereum technology over the next five years, and re-establishing its core positioning in the Web3 era.
Ethereum's two major "indispensable underlying values" are officially defined
Vitalik clearly pointed out that Ethereum's long-term value does not lie in "application layer imagination," but in two fundamental capabilities:
Decentralized Public Announcement Board (Global Settlement & Data Layer)
Ethereum is positioned as a global "trusted information dissemination system," with core capabilities including:
On-chain data publishing and notarization
Immutable information order
Equal publishing rights for everyone
Public, verifiable global state records
This layer of capability directly supports:
Privacy protocol security
Electronic voting
Trusted auditing and public record systems
Essentially, Ethereum is a global immutable information infrastructure.
