The Ethereum Foundation's Co-Executive Director, Hsiao-Wei Wang, emphasized zero-knowledge cryptography as crucial to Ethereum's medium-term development. Progress includes breakthroughs toward integrating zero-knowledge proofs at the protocol level and a native zkEVM plan that could enhance scalability without compromising network security or decentralization. Current upgrades focus on Layer 2 networks, but zero-knowledge will play an integral role in Ethereum’s future resilience and neutrality.
