Vitalik Buterin thinks that the ZK van Ethereum proves that Stack turns a corner and wants the ecosystem to use that momentum to eliminate one of the most persistent UX road barriers: weekly L2 recordings on optimistic roles.
Fraud -resistant windows – a requirement for canonical bridges of rollups such as base back to Ethereum – are “just too long for people”, Buterin wrote last week in a message about X.
“This creates major stimuli to use solutions with unacceptable trust assumptions (eg Multisigs/MPC) that undermine L2S instead of completely independent L1s,” he said.
The centralality of Ethereum -Mindet as an economic link will be a key factor, BUTERIN has presented in a new interview that was published today.
“The thing that keeps the L1 relevant is where assets – even if most activities take place on L2S – are published on the L1,” said Buterin, adding: “Encourage assets to actually be issued on L1 and make it economically viable to do that … is one of these l1.”
Historically, optimistic evidence systems required multi -day challenge periods. The elimination of that limitation requires a shift of optimistic evidence, as some already have validity -based rollups. The technological lift is much lower nowadays.
“This year, ZKVMs are almost productical in a way that was not true at all … even a year ago,” said Buterin.
Against that background, the concise Prover Network -Minnet launch last week is more than just another infrastructure story.
With the decentralized marketplace of Combctct can submit requests for evidence, while independent games compete to fulfill them and receives payments in the new token. The network has already supported more than 35 protocols and, according to concise Labs, has fulfilled more than five million of such requests that secure a value of $ 4 billion.
Developers have access to global evidence using an API call, without adapted infrastructure. That will help in the commoditation of generating the evidence, said co-founder Uma Roy, with the aim of making verifiable calculation “The standard for how crypto integrates with the broader internet”, the type of frequent validity certificate BUTERIN describes.
Tarun Chitra, speaking at the launch flow of concise laboratories, set up the long -term effects in terms that go beyond “faster and cheaper” L2S:
“If Eth Minnet has ZK as a first-class citizen, you can do things like this, such as using your collateral on MAINNET somewhere else without bridging,” said Chitra.
Buterin also sketched a path outside the target of one hour: “In the longer term, we can solve this with aggregation: n proofs of N-rollups (plus TXs of privacy protocol users) can be replaced by a single proof that the validity of the N-Bears proves. This is economically to serve the endgame, the endgame, the endgame, the endgame, the endgame, the endgame, the endgame, the endgame, the endgame, the endgame, which is the endgame, the endgame, the endgame, the endgame. L1. “
If these developments become reality, the profit of capital efficiency can be considerable. Faster canonical outputs reduce the dependence on trusted bridge operators, free liquidity for market makers and wealth expenditure and concentrate the activity of the settlement and ETH demand-back on the base layer.
Steven Goldfeder, co-founder of Offchain Labs Building Arbitrum is less certain that a pure ZK approach is ready for Prime Time.
Despite the work to accelerate the progress in the field of validity, “we have not yet reached the turning point where ZK technology-especially in the form that it is packaged in this entire ZK-Rollups competitive with optimistic technology, and that is in terms of speed costs and adult, in fact the technicality, Goldfeder said.
