Joseph Lubin: Ethereum Expected to Fully Achieve Zero-Knowledge Proofs in 3 to 5 Years, Enabling the Unlimited Capacity Vision of the "World Computer"

BlockBeats News, June 10th - Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin stated that Ethereum is expected to become a fully zk-SNARK-based protocol within 3 to 5 years. Through initiatives like "Lean Ethereum," the plan is to strengthen Layer 1 and progressively migrate the real-time zk-SNARK technology already implemented on L2 to the mainnet. This move will significantly enhance base-layer performance and composability between L2, ultimately achieving trustless atomic cross-chain transactions, unifying fragmented liquidity, and user experience.

Lubin strongly supports a rollup-centric roadmap, believing that L2 is an ideal proving ground for cutting-edge technology, despite criticisms of its fragmentation raised by Vitalik Buterin and others. As Ethereum transitions from its phase of decentralization to aggregation, L2 will continue to play a crucial role in helping Ethereum realize the "world computer" vision with infinite scalability.
