Zk-Proofs

Ethereum's push to embed zero‑knowledge proofs at the base layer aims to shrink validator workloads, improve scalability and create new trust primitives; the L1‑zkEVM workshop and EIP‑8025 preview show concrete design choices, while SEAL addresses the security tradeoffs. This article breaks down the technical case, validator economics, workshop takeaways and implications for decentralization and AI on Ethereum.
