The Ethereum Foundation has announced a long-term plan to integrate ZK-proofs directly into Layer 1 The goal is for validators to verify a single proof instead of re-executing all transactions in a block The multi-year plan will begin with optional zk-clients and upgrades in the upcoming Pectra hard fork The Ethereum Foundation has announced a detailed plan to integrate zero-knowledge (zk) technology directly into Ethereum’s Layer 1. This marks a major infrastructure shift aimed at dramatically increasing the network’s scalability and privacy. The project, outlined in a blog post on July 10, proposes fundamental changes to how validators operate and to the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) itself. The end goal is to allow validators to simply verify a single, lightweight zk-proof for each block, instead of having to re-execute all the transactions within it. Yesterday, the Ethereum Foundation (EF) published a blog announcing intent to go all-in on integrating zero-knowledge (zk) into the Ethereum L1: https://t.co/HfhaMZruhV This could be a major upgrade, with massive implications for scalability and privacy. : — Raye Hadi (@rhadiARK) July 11, 2025 The Pl… The post The Ethereum Foundation Is Rebuilding Its Core with ZK-Proof Technology appeared first on Coin Edition .
