Why Ethereum Needs ZK-VM: The Ultimate Path to Scalability

ZK is not just a technical upgrade for Ethereum, but a structural reconstruction. It allows Ethereum to move from redundant validation to efficient consensus, and from performance bottlenecks to verifiable computation, which may be the key ticket for Ethereum to enter the next cycle.

Vitalik: Client Proof Speed Limit ZK-VM Privacy Applications

ChainCatcher message, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin explained the limitations of ZK-VM (Zero-Knowledge Virtual Machine) in privacy use cases. Some users pointed out that ZK-VM is superior in almost every aspect, but ironically, the only use case it fails to cover is privacy.In response, Vitalik said: "The explanation is simple: privacy use cases require client-side proofs, and currently, client-side provers are not fast enough to handle anything beyond Merkle branches."
