Strawmap is a public, work-in-progress draft roadmap for the Ethereum Layer 1 protocol, maintained by the Ethereum Foundation’s EF Architecture team. It presents a long-range, holistic view of potential protocol upgrades, organizing priorities across the consensus, data, and execution layers. Designed for researchers, developers, and Ethereum governance participants, it is a dense technical resource rather than an introductory guide.

Its visual timeline connects proposed upgrades, dependencies, and fork milestones, extending through the end of the decade and beyond immediate fork planning. Strawmap’s five guiding ambitions include faster transaction inclusion and finality, greater throughput on L1 and L2, long-term post-quantum security, and privacy through shielded transfers. It is explicitly not an official prediction or consensus roadmap, but a coordination tool that sketches one possible path for discussion in Ethereum’s decentralized ecosystem.

The document is intended to evolve with community feedback, research, and governance, with updates expected at least quarterly. Readers can explore linked EIPs and technical write-ups or send feedback to the maintaining team
