Overview
- Developers convene today for the first L1-zkEVM workshop at 15:00 UTC, marking the formal start of coordinated implementation work.
- EIP-8025 sits in the consensus-specs features branch, setting out an optional path where zkAttesters verify blocks by checking ZK proofs.
- Validators using zkAttestation can validate without holding execution-layer state or running full execution clients, enabling much faster syncs on modest hardware.
- Proofs will be shared over a dedicated gossip network using standardized ExecutionWitness and guest program flows, with multiple zkVM teams already demonstrating block proofs.
- Real-time single-slot proving targets ePBS in the Glamsterdam upgrade to extend the proving window to roughly 6–9 seconds from 1–2, with a preliminary 3-of-5 acceptance threshold and a 1-of-N liveness model under discussion.
