Wu Shuo learned that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted a message stating that with PeerDAS now live on the Ethereum mainnet and ZK-EVM entering the Alpha stage (performance reaching production level, with remaining mainly security concerns), Ethereum is completing a network-level leap. He believes that Ethereum has achieved for the first time the simultaneous realization of decentralization + consensus + high bandwidth, solving the "blockchain trilemma" with real-world running code rather than just theoretical concepts. Vitalik also revealed that in 2026, there will be a significant increase in the Gas limit and the first practical conditions for running ZK-EVM nodes; between 2026 and 2028, efforts such as Gas re-pricing and state structure adjustments will pave the way for high throughput; from 2027 to 2030, ZK-EVM is expected to become the mainstream block validation method on Ethereum. Meanwhile, he emphasized that future efforts should promote distributed block construction to reduce centralization intervention risks and enhance geographical fairness.
