Ethereum is becoming increasingly stable on the path of zero-knowledge cryptography. An executive from the Ethereum Foundation revealed that significant breakthroughs have been made in this field over the past one or two years. The current upgrade priorities are to enhance Layer 2 execution efficiency and Blob space, but the feasibility of zero-knowledge proofs as a protocol-level feature is rapidly improving.

More interestingly, the research team has already planned a native zkEVM solution—simply put, making Ethereum default to using zero-knowledge proofs to verify transactions. What can this technology do? It reduces the computational costs required to protect the network while achieving true scalability.

Of course, while pursuing technological innovation, this leader emphasized Ethereum's core principles: risk resistance, security, censorship resistance, and neutrality. These bottom lines will not be compromised, and new technologies must align with these core values.

It does seem like zk is really getting serious, but how long will it take for native zkEVM to be implemented? It feels like we're always talking about plans...

If zkEVM really gets implemented, Solana will have to wait a bit longer...

Wow, zkEVM is really coming? If that's true, then scalability is basically assured. Wait, can they really get this done without compromising security? Why do I find it hard to believe... Native zk verification transactions... sounds great, but it feels like we'll have to wait a long time before we can use it. I just want to ask, what's the advantage of this over Starknet's solution? They're just hyping it up again, but this time it doesn't sound as far-fetched.

Is zkEVM reliable? Can it really reduce costs or is it just another wave of verbal promises? Native ZK verification sounds impressive, but when will it actually be implemented? How long do we have to wait? Is this just another Vitalik pie-in-the-sky plan? Technological innovation is great, but L2 gas fees are still ridiculously high. I'm a bit tired of the rhetoric about anti-censorship; let's focus on some real, tangible performance improvements. I just want to know, when will it outperform Solana? Stop just talking about principles. It feels like this every time—emphasizing security but performance still lags. Can we really have both? With so many algorithms and the user experience remaining the same, is this upgrade really worth looking forward to? The Blob space keeps piling up, which seems a bit counterproductive. ZK is really the future, right?

actually, if we examine ethereum's zkEVM trajectory through game theory lens... native proof verification is basically the "trust minimization endgame" we've been theorizing about. but here's the caveat nobody mentions—computational cost reduction doesn't automatically equal accessibility, right?

zkEVM this time is truly amazing, it feels like Ethereum is finally going to leave other L1s behind By the way, how much can the computing cost be reduced? That's the key Awesome, innovating while sticking to the bottom line, this taste is indeed different After Blob's groundwork is laid, it's definitely time to play with zk, I've been waiting for this But can zkEVM really achieve both security and scalability? I'm a bit unsure Wow, now the roll-ups are under pressure Wait, if this is truly implemented, how cheap can the gas fees get... let me think This is the way Web3 should go, don't mess around with those obscure methods
