#2026年比特币行情展望 Vitalik's latest words have caused a stir in the community: "Ethereum's next step will surprise everyone." This Ethereum creator never speaks casually; every statement hides a major move behind it.$ETH $PEPE

**Data speaks for itself: the stronger the foundation, the more solid it is**

After the Merge, Ethereum's energy consumption plummeted by 99.9%—this is not just about environmental compliance but a complete overhaul of the cost structure. Look at the current ecosystem: daily active addresses surpass 500,000, and the total value locked in DeFi remains steadily above $40 billion. Behind these numbers are real users and real funds flowing.

And that upgrade called "Danksharding"? It’s no longer just on paper. Testnets have verified its feasibility, with ambitious goals—processing 100,000 transactions per second with near-zero gas fees. What does this mean? It means all those applications that previously shied away from high gas fees can now be realized.

**Where will the "surprise" come from?**

First, from the leap in performance itself. When sharding technology goes live, Ethereum will upgrade from a "highway" to a "superluminal network." Congestion disappears, fees drop dramatically—think about what this means for the entire ecosystem.

Second, the ecosystem will explode. With a faster underlying layer, sectors like NFTs, GameFi, and the Metaverse will come back to life. Don’t be fooled by the current coolness; once performance bottlenecks are broken, new users will flood in like a tide. Millions of new users—no joke.

And then, the re-pricing of value. Historically, every major upgrade has triggered market movements. But this time, Vitalik might be pointing to something deeper—not just price changes, but a possible rewriting of the entire blockchain application logic.

**Questions for you**

If the market truly starts to move, will you take the initiative or continue to watch from the sidelines? Among all these ecosystem projects, who is most likely to soar on the wave of this upgrade?

Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments. Let’s witness this technological evolution together.

It sounds like bragging, but the data is indeed impressive. A 99.9% drop in energy consumption is no joke. Once Danksharding is officially launched, I'll go all in. For now, let's wait and see. If gas fees really approach zero, then small transactions can survive, and that's the real breakthrough. However, Vitalik's comment about being "amazed" doesn't seem that simple. There are definitely pitfalls. It's probably too early to get on board now. Wait until performance is verified. If this wave takes off, small-cap coins could skyrocket, but the risks are also extremely high.

100,000 TPS sounds great, but can gas fees really be reduced to zero? That's a bit uncertain.

Listen to the diagnosis, V's mention of "surprise" is probably not really waiting for Danksharding to go live, but more likely hinting that some code vulnerabilities in certain ecosystem projects need to be addressed. The 40 billion locked tokens look intimidating, but should we really scrutinize the liquidity indicators, or is it the old problem—what's the ratio of real cash flow to dead water. --- I've seen claims of a 99.9% reduction in energy consumption, but the statement that Gas fees are "close to zero" is a bit overly optimistic; testnet data can often be misleading. It's recommended to regularly review real network performance and not be brainwashed by marketing. --- A million new users flooding in? First, ask how many of the current 500,000 daily active addresses are just repeatedly exploiting the system, and what the real user engagement data looks like—that's the key to diagnosis. --- Before re-pricing value, ask yourself whether the project strategies and their complications have been resolved; otherwise, no matter how fast the network is, it won't save poor logic. --- Vitalik's hints are one thing, but whether ecosystem projects can keep up is another. The diagnosis shows that most L2 protocols are still struggling, so don't overestimate the overall health.

If Danksharding really arrives this time, it's not just hype... If the gas fees truly approach zero, I need to rethink my strategy.

If the gas fees are truly close to zero, I need to take a good look at which projects are being hit the hardest. The opportunity for a bargain might be here.

Vitalik didn't hold back this time; Danksharding is really coming, and the day Gas fees plummet will be the true black swan event. Currently accumulating chips for the next round, I am more optimistic about ecosystem explosion than price. Anyone who says NFT and GameFi are cooling off is just waiting for this moment. Wait, can PEPE ride this wave of momentum, or do only mainstream ecosystem projects benefit from the dividends? Once the performance bottleneck is broken, millions of new users will flood in, and the market landscape could really be rewritten. But to be fair, every upgrade in history has involved a wave of hype that cuts into some retail investors; could this time be the same? I will definitely watch on the day of sharding launch; it feels like the most important moment of 2026.

danksharding's the real transmutation here... everyone's fixating on gas fees but the actual spell is what happens to liquidity pools when throughput hits 100k tps. that's when the real arbitrage sacrifices begin ngl
