The Ethereum Layer-1 zkEVM (Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine) is prepared for mainnet deployment to dramatically increase the network’s Gas limit. This upgrade will enable native zk-rollup support while preserving Ethereum’s core security principles, including liveness and censorship resistance.
A newly introduced real-time proving standard will simplify local proof computations, optimizing efficiency across the ecosystem. Developers confirm that ongoing work on multiple zkVMs could achieve these objectives before the Devconnect Argentina conference scheduled for November.
This advancement marks a critical milestone for the Ethereum execution layer, significantly boosting scalability and network performance for decentralized applications.
