Ethereum abandons speed for security! In 2026, it will harden to meet the 128-bit security standard, and zkEVM must pass the review!
A heavyweight bombshell in the crypto world! The Ethereum Foundation suddenly announced: abandoning 'speed competition' and fully sprinting towards 128-bit provable security, which must meet the standards by the end of 2026. This threshold is defined as 'non-negotiable'!
It's important to know that 128-bit security is a hard standard equivalent to AES encryption level, and current computing power would take billions of years to crack. The foundation stated: previously near-real-time block proofs concealed the risk of overturned mathematical assumptions. 'Just fast but not stable' could lead to forged proofs altering L1, and systemic risks cannot be tolerated!
The zkEVM project is at the forefront; by early 2026, it must integrate official tools to unify security testing, initially passing the 100-bit threshold, and by the end of the year, it needs to synchronize in compressing proof sizes. The three-phase roadmap is clear—will ecological security face a major reshuffle?
Can this move solidify Ethereum's security moat? Will the zkEVM project face a wave of elimination? Do you think the security upgrade will delay ecological development?
