Ethereum will undergo its most groundbreaking architectural upgrade since the "Merge." Today marks the official launch of the first L1-zkEVM Workshop, where a brand-new block verification system based on zero-knowledge proofs is being showcased for the first time. This solution is expected to enable faster block confirmation, reduce resource consumption, and significantly lower operational barriers. Ladislaus.eth, a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, stated that this could be one of the most impactful upgrades in network history. The core of this roadmap is EIP-8025 "Optional Execution Proof," which allows some validators (zkAttesters) to confirm blocks through cryptographic proofs without re-executing each transaction. For existing nodes, this is an optional upgrade and will not be mandatory, but adopters will gain clear efficiency advantages.

February 10 News, global payments giant Visa has officially launched an on-chain settlement system based on the Ethereum network, using USDC as the settlement medium.
