As the price of Ethereum breaks through $3000, the Ethereum Foundation announced the launch of a node-level zkEVM (Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine), with plans to achieve Layer 1 native integration of ZK proofs within a year. This move aims to unify real-time proof standards (latency <10 seconds, proof size <300KiB, 128-bit security), significantly enhancing the scalability, security, and censorship resistance of the Ethereum Mainnet, creating a "full-stack ZK blockchain." This marks a significant upgrade in Ethereum's ZK strategy, which may soon compel Layer 2 ZK Rollup projects to transform, but in the long term could promote the standardization of ZK technology and ecological synergy.

Odaily News The Ethereum Foundation developer Sophia Gold published an article proposing the implementation of L1 zkEVM within a year through multi zkVM execution proofs verified by validators. The goal of this plan is to achieve "real-time proof," with definitions including: latency ≤ 10 seconds, 128-bit security, proof size ≤ 300KiB, and feasible home verification, promoting Ethereum to become the world's largest ZK application platform.

Jinse Finance reported that the second layer of ETH, ZKsync, announced the launch of the Open Source RISC-V zkVM 'ZKsync Airbender', which supports rapid verification of ETH transactions on a single GPU. For example, 'ZKsync Airbender' can achieve a basic verification speed of about 21.8 MHz on the H100 GPU, about 3.45 MHz on the SP1 Turbo, and about 1.1 MHz on the RisZero. This means that ZKsync OS (ZKsync's zkEVM execution environment) can achieve end-to-end ETH Block proof on a single GPU within 35 seconds, thereby reducing on-chain costs. It is reported that ZKsync Airbender has completed internal audits and is currently in the early testing phase.

Odaily News Polygon founder and CEO of Polygon Foundation Sandeep posted on the X platform, stating: It was noted that the decision to shut down the zkEVM chain would impact other Agglayer CDK chains, such as: 1. All Agglayer chains built on the Agglayer CDK are separated from zkEVM at the stack level. The CDK initially used the zkEVM codebase but has undergone extensive optimization to transform it into a stack that can be used to launch other chains. Currently, Polygon is adding more stacks to the Agglayer CDK. 2. Polygon will continue to advance CDK-Erigon and CDK-OpGeth, which have now achieved up to 7000.

Odaily Star Daily News: Paradigm data researcher Storm said in a post that Ethereum is a Trojan horse. When institutions adopt Ethereum, they will unconsciously hegemonize the core principles of its Decentralization, transparency, and Open Source software. In response to this, Tim Beiko, a core developer of Ethereum, wrote: "If we want things to unfold this way, it would be a good thing to provide functionality equivalent to L2 'phases' or zkEVM 'types' for applications built on Ethereum. We should define Schelling points for different levels of trustlessness.
