# Vitalik Buterin: Ethereum's mission is to build the world computer and serve as the core infrastructure of the internet.

Vitalik Buterin stated in an article on the X platform that Ethereum increased gas limits and the number of blobs in 2025, improved node software quality, and broke zkEVM performance milestones. Ethereum is moving towards becoming a new and more powerful blockchain through zkEVM and PeerDAS. The challenge facing Ethereum is to achieve its established goal of building a world computer as the core infrastructure for a freer and more open internet. Ethereum is developing decentralized applications that are immune to fraud, censorship, or third-party interference, and possess the stability to continue operating even after the developers disappear. To achieve this goal, Ethereum needs to achieve large-scale availability and true decentralization at both the blockchain and application layers.
