Deep Tide TechFlow news, on July 11, the Ethereum Foundation released the L1 zkEVM real-time proof standard on July 10, 2025, as the primary step in its comprehensive adoption of zero-knowledge proof technology. The standard requires zkVM systems to achieve 128-bit security, complete 99% of mainnet block proofs within 10 seconds, have proof sizes not exceeding 300KiB, and not require trusted setup. To support home validation, hardware costs should be controlled below $100,000, and power consumption should not exceed 10kW. This move aims to enhance the security, activity, and censorship resistance of the Ethereum network while laying the groundwork for future native zk-rollups. Ethereum plans to complete the deployment of L1 zkEVM in less than a year.
