Ethereum Foundation Prioritizes Security, Targets 128-Bit Rule by 2026
Ethereum shifts focus from performance to security, aiming for 128-bit provable security for L1 zkEVMs by end of 2026.
A three-phase roadmap:
Early 2026: Unified security assessment.
Mid-2026: 100-bit provable security + proof-size limits.
End-2026: Full 128-bit security with smaller proofs and formal soundness.
Stabilizing zkEVM architectures is key for formal verification and long-term security.
