Tomorrow, February 11, 2026, the first L1-zkEVM workshop will give a first look at a new system that could make block validation faster, cheaper, and more accessible for everyone. Instead of re-executing every transaction in a block, Ethereum may soon rely on zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs, enabling validators to verify correctness through cryptographic proofs. Why Ethereum’s Shift to ZK Proofs Could Redefine Block Validation Ethereum Foundation researcher Ladislaus. eth called it “arguably one of the more consequential” upgrades in the network’s history
