Odaily Star Daily News - Hsiao-Wei Wang, Co-Executive Director of the Ethereum Foundation, stated in an interview with CoinDesk that Ethereum is steadily moving toward a future where zero-knowledge cryptography becomes a core component of the network. Hsiao-Wei Wang described zero-knowledge as part of Ethereum’s mid-term roadmap, noting that multiple breakthroughs have been achieved over the past one or two years. Although current upgrade priorities remain on improving Layer 2 network execution and Blob space, zero-knowledge as a protocol-level functionality has become increasingly viable. Ethereum researchers have published a native zkEVM plan that allows the network to use zero-knowledge proofs to verify transactions by default. This technology can significantly reduce the workload required to protect Ethereum, enabling scaling without sacrificing decentralization or reliability. Hsiao-Wei Wang emphasized that as the network continues to evolve, resilience, security, censorship resistance, and neutrality remain core to Ethereum.
