ETHEREUM'S ZK ROADMAP: SCALING L1 TO 10M TPS
Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter
Ethereum is pivoting to a zkEVM-based architecture that replaces transaction re-execution with real-time zero-knowledge proof verification, targeting 10,000 TPS on L1 and 10M TPS ecosystem-wide. This shift is powered by breakthroughs like Succinct's SP1 prover, a multi-horizon roadmap backed by the Ethereum Foundation, and innovations such as RISC-V Type 0 zkVMs and FOCIL for censorship resistance. The ultimate goal is decentralized validation on minimal hardware, unlocking on-chain abundance, and obsoleting optimistic rollups.
