Bankless
Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

So, you know, we'll focus on that.

Bankless
Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

And as of like, say, a year, year and a half, two years ago, I think,

Bankless
Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

the mindset on Ethereum has shifted a lot towards saying, look, we're now in this moment in time.

Bankless
Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

Real world adoption is here, right?

Bankless
Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

Like it's no longer this future thing that we're building towards.

Bankless
Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

So we have to like now, and it's actually, it's really, it's a very like non-trivial thing.

Bankless
Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

We have to find the right balance between still working on these like Manhattan projectile type jumps, like real time ZKVM.

Bankless
Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

I really, I think, I agree.

Bankless
Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

Like you said, like I think it's the biggest thing Ethereum probably will ever have done.

Bankless
Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

but we can't just wait for another three years for this to arrive.

Bankless
Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

Like we have to do things now.

Bankless
Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

And so this is why I think we actually like we're now scaling is this perfect example.

Bankless
Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

We have this really good hybrid approach.

Bankless
Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

The next, like we started last summer, we were saying ZKVM is three years out and we will in a second, I think talk about more of the sequencing of the exact law, but...

Bankless
Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

We don't want to wait three more years, right?

Bankless
Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

This is what the old Ethereum would have done.

Bankless
Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

What we're actually doing is we came up with this scaling plan and it's a very continuous smooth function.

Bankless
Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

So our goal is basically, we have this rule of thumb.

Bankless
Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

We're saying our goal is 3x scaling every single year.

Bankless
Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

So we are increasing the throughput of the Ethereum blockchain by roughly 3x every year.
