BlockBeats News, January 11th, Hsiao-Wei Wang, co-executive of the Ethereum Foundation, stated that Ethereum is steadily moving towards a future where zero-knowledge cryptography becomes core to the network, with years of research now merging with real-world progress. Zero-knowledge proofs are part of Ethereum's mid-term roadmap, with several breakthroughs achieved in the past year or two. While the current upgrade focus is on improving Layer 2 network execution and Blob space, zero-knowledge proofs as a protocol-level feature have become increasingly feasible.Furthermore, Ethereum researchers have released the native zkEVM plan, allowing the network to default to using zero-knowledge proofs to validate transactions. This technology can significantly reduce the computational effort required to secure Ethereum, enabling scalability without sacrificing decentralization or reliability. Hsiao-Wei Wang emphasized that even as the network continues to evolve, Ethereum's core principles of resilience, security, censorship resistance, and neutrality remain.
