Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs
Ansgar Dietrichs, an Ethereum Foundation researcher focused on scaling and protocol design, breaks down the ZK EVM and why verifying blocks without re-execution matters. He sketches the three scaling bottlenecks and how real-time proofs, RISC-V compiled clients, and blobs could shift verification. He outlines a phased rollout from optional to mandatory proofs and a rough path toward ZK-native Ethereum by 2030.
