#大户持仓动态 Ethereum's foundational layer security undergoes a major upgrade plan



There's a piece of news worth paying attention to — the zkEVM development team on Ethereum has recently shifted focus to long-term cryptographic security at the L1 layer. It sounds technical, but the idea behind it is quite clear: they are planning a "mainnet-level" security framework.

What exactly are they doing? The plan is divided into two steps. First, in the Glamsterdam upgrade in May 2026, the goal is to achieve 100-bit provable security. This paves the way for subsequent increases in Gas limits and native zk-Rollup support, while also ensuring that the network's censorship resistance is unaffected — which is very critical. Then, they will continue iterating by compressing proof data and ultimately upgrading to 128-bit security level.

In simple terms: Ethereum is strengthening its cryptographic defenses at the core, laying the foundation for scalability solutions. The value realization of $ETH depends on the continuous improvement of this infrastructure.

What do you think about this direction? Is this a necessary step for the Ethereum ecosystem? Do $ZEC and $ICP these privacy and computing public chains have any insights on security upgrades? Feel free to discuss!
ETH0.46%
ZEC-1.93%
ICP-10.64%

Wrapped up with L1 cryptographic defenses, now that's the real deal. But it won't take effect until 2026, how long do we have to wait? Haha

Takes effect only in 2026? That feels a bit slow; the market can't wait that long.

It's another story about underlying security construction. The 2026 event is already being hyped now. I'm too familiar with this routine.

Sigh, we have to wait until 2026 to see any movement. The pace is indeed a bit slow. However, security at the foundational level must be prioritized, because once a problem occurs, the entire ecosystem could be compromised.

100-bit security sounds impressive, but won't it be ready only by 2026? Feels a bit slow, especially with such fierce competition in zk.
