The Ethereum Foundation has announced a major shift toward integrating zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) into Ethereum’s base layer. This transition aims to enhance scalability and security while maintaining decentralization.
- Ethereum is transitioning to a proof-centric model where validators verify ZK proofs instead of re-executing transactions, improving efficiency.
- The Glamsterdam upgrade in 2026 will enable off-chain proof generation, reducing validator workload and enhancing security.
- EIP 7983 proposes a gas limit per transaction (16,777,216 units) to prevent block space monopolization and boost network efficiency.
