Vitalik Buterin: Ethereum is close to breaking the “impossible trinity” with ZK-EVM and PeerDAS.

Vitalik Buterin stated that Ethereum is nearing the "impossible trinity" of blockchain technology by effectively combining high bandwidth, consensus mechanisms, and decentralization. According to him, ZK-EVMs have now achieved alpha-level performance, while PeerDAS is officially live on the Ethereum mainnet, significantly expanding the network's data processing capabilities.

Vitalik expects the gas limit for non-ZK-EVMs to continue to increase, and ZK-EVM nodes to begin appearing from 2026. Furthermore, between 2027 and 2030, ZK-EVM is likely to become Ethereum's primary block validation method.

In addition, he emphasized that building a distributed block remains a long-term goal, aiming to reduce the risks of centralization and improve geographical fairness across the entire Ethereum network.
