ZK attesting looks really promising! Much lower hardware requirements for stakers & node-runners. No more transaction re-execution, simply verifying ZK proofs. Scale L1 - while fostering distributed verification🚀
Let's take a sneak peek into the future of ZK Ethereum Node operations! Zero Knowledge (ZK) tech is coming, and seeing elements of it in the wild is less far away than you might think. Read more in this guest blog post from Ladislaus von Daniels @ladislaus0x (link in following

4/ 2025 brought real-time proving (RTP) center stage, with breakthroughs making it viable faster than many expected Now, we must apply first-principles to bring zkVMs closer to the protocol, starting with rigorous standards for security & proof size on the proof system theory

3/ Back to the moat: As L1 scales, I expect Ethereum state to move to the R&D forefront in 2026 Gas limit increases & L1-zkEVM are catalysts, driving the need for a shared vision, whether that's state expiry, archiving, or partial statelessness This is a multi-team effort —

Pricing gas is a hard problem because gas compresses compute, bandwidth & disk usage into a single metric constrained by the slowest node hardware. Ethereum prices for the 'worst-case' to prevent DoS attacks. Changes are rare & require hard forks. As we move toward L1-zkEVM,
Just published the first part of a series on how to think through Ethereum gas repricings required for block proving using zkVMs. Any repricing-related work is complex, and we should start walking through it as soon as possible. Link to article 👇 1/5

This post on the current state of Proposer-Builder Separation (PBS) and the broader Ethereum transaction pipeline is an interesting read It becomes even more meaningful when viewed through the lens of a network on the cusp of significant scaling https://t.co/FfZXKt7YJU

How do we handle state as we scale the L1? ...was probably among the most asked core protocol related questions during devconnect - at least that I heard Well, lots of possible answers; no definite one just yet (imo); but shining light on the issue at hand with properly curated

Heres some data from the last 24h of nodes that we connected to on Mainnet wrt. PeerDAS. - 17.6% of nodes are supernodes (4096+ ETH staked) - 46.1% custody 4 columns (the minimum) - 23.4% custody between 5-8 columns IMPORTANT: These are NODE counts. They are not directly stake

For a few months, the stateless consensus team has been focused on a specific question: in a world where statelessness / state expiry is a reality, where does one find the state they need?

How can FOCIL realize "credible commitment" to Heka/Bogotá? Here are FOCIL breakout #24 takeaways 🧵
In the next ACDE call on Dec 4, we will listen to client teams’ opinions on SFI’ing FOCIL for Heka/Bogota and make a final decision. As we did before, we could use our FOCIL breakout for a quick temperature check. You are cordially invited to the upcoming FOCIL breakout on Dec 2
