Vitalik Buterin calls for the use of ZK-EVMS on Ethereum

Vitalik Buterin encouraged the use of Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machines (ZK-EVMS) in Ethereum-Minnet.

In oneBlog entryexplained butterin that the ZK-EVMS would accelerate Ethereum's verification process without impairing the decentralization and safety of the network.

ZK-EVMS should interact with the multi-client philosophy of Ethereum

According to the Russian-Canadian programmer, Ethereum retains its security and decentralization through its multi-client philosophy, which enables users to operate nodes through a jointly managed specification, with several teams implementing.

Ethereum's creator believes that the entire validation process can be modified using ZK-EVMS, which will improve the scalability of the network.

A ZK-EVM is a new type of Ethereum Virtual Machine, which improves the scalability of Ethereum by generating zero-knowledge-proofs and at the same time supports smart contracts and application compatibility.

The Ethereum Polygon Layer 2-scaling solution has already used its ZK-EVMS to improve the transaction speed. The ZK-EVM from Polygon summarizes several transactions into a single proof, so that the network can run it smoothly.

Butterin believes that ZK-EVMS should not only be used for Layer 2 protocols, since the use on the basic layer (L1) from Ethereum is possible. Hespecifiedthat ZK-EVMS would solve the verification problem of the basic layer of Ethereum.

"As soon as that happens, ZK-EVMS will de facto become a third type of Ethereum client that are just as important for the safety of the network as execution clients and consensus today," he said.

Provision of ZK-EVMS on the basic layer of Ethereum

In addition to her challenges, but in addition to her challenges, Berin also outlined how the ZK-EVMs could be used in the Ethereum network.

TheEthereum developermentioned the possibility of acting the basic layer as a clearinghouse for L2 protocols, while almost all activities have to be shifted there. However, he announced that this option would "not economically not profitably" and increase the transaction fees.

The second option would be to create a ZK-EVM type 1 to check the EVM version of an L1 ethereum block. This option would have its challenges, but the computer scientist believes that developers would find a way to solve them.

"With these technologies, the future looks very good. Ethereum blocks would be smaller than today, everyone could carry out a fully verified knot on their laptop or even their telephone or in a browser expansion, and all of this would happen while maintaining the advantages of multi-client philosophy from Ethereum," added Butterin.
