Ethereum Foundation Co-Executive Director Tomasz K. Stańczak shared a technical document for getting zkEVM proofs supported on Ethereum L1. Integrating zkEVM proofs into Ethereum L1 allows Ethereum to significantly raise the gas limit and support native zk-rollups, without sacrificing censorship resistance. The roadmap outlines how ZK proofs would be integrated into governance, client infrastructure, consensus validation, and security. It defines eight core projects: ExecutionWitness, zkEVM Guest Program, zkVM–Guest API Standardization, Consensus Layer Integration, Prover Infrastructure, Benchmarking & Metrics, Security, and ePBS.
ethPandaOps shared an analysis of Ethereum mainnet blob data following the activation of BPO forks, which increased the blob target. ethPandaOps observed a trend where attestation head vote percentages dropped as blob count rose. A head vote is part of a validator's attestation that votes for the latest valid block at a given slot. ethPandaOps found that the cause of the degradation is not blob count itself, but rather proposer timing games. Some block proposers intentionally publish blocks late to extract more MEV, which reduces the time attesters have to download and verify the block. The trend leads to fewer validators voting for the proposer's block, lowering head vote rates.
Boundless, a zero-knowledge verifiable compute layer, launched Boundless for Rollups, enabling OP-stack rollups to upgrade to ZK-powered security with faster finality, simpler dispute resolution, and lower proving costs. Rollups can now reduce finality from 7 days to 24 hours using ZK fault proofs, or to minutes with full validity proofs. The release replaces multi-step optimistic dispute games with a single non-interactive ZK proof. Through the Boundless Network, rollups gain access to 400 trillion cycles per day of proving capacity at a median cost of $0.04 per billion cycles, significantly lowering the cost of ZK proving. The feature is already live in production and used by rollups such as BOB and MegaETH.
