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.
