Ethereum's future hinges on zero-knowledge proofs, EF director says

Source: CryptoNewsNet Original Title: Ethereum’s future hinges on zero-knowledge proofs, EF director says Original Link: Ethereum is steadily moving toward a future where zero-knowledge cryptography becomes a core part of the network itself, reflecting years of research that are now converging with real-world progress, according to Ethereum Foundation co-executive director Hsiao-Wei Wang.

The director, who was one of the key developers in designing the Merge, described zero-knowledge as part of Ethereum’s midterm roadmap, pointing to “many amazing breakthroughs” in the past one to two years.

More immediate upgrades remain focused on improving execution and blob space for layer-2 networks. Zero-knowledge is increasingly feasible as a protocol-level feature, with significant progress expected in the coming period.
