BlockBeats News, February 10 — Ethereum Foundation member ladislaus.eth announced that Ethereum is advancing a key but relatively low-profile architectural shift: moving from nodes re-executing all transactions within a block to confirming execution correctness through zkEVM proof verification. The plan is supported by EIP-8025 (Optional Execution Proof), which allows validators at the consensus layer to verify multiple client zk proofs instead of running a full execution layer, without mandatory upgrades or forks.

This mechanism is expected to significantly reduce node hardware and synchronization costs, benefiting independent validators and home nodes, and laying the groundwork for future L1 execution scaling, ePBS (scheduled for Glamsterdam upgrade), and native Rollup solutions. The Ethereum L1-zkEVM roadmap aims for completion by 2026, with the first dedicated conference scheduled for February 11.
