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

And then even within a single slot, instead of 12 seconds, we have a story there that's going to gradually get us down from 12 seconds to, I don't know, eight, six, four, five,

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

much, much, much faster.

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

And then there's separate work streams around, can you get even faster inclusion guarantees, right?

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

So that's the heartbeat at which the chain actually progresses and you get guarantees about that's the result of your transaction.

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

But can you maybe get, in principle, like...

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

speed of light, you know, like just round-trip time confirmation that your transaction will be included, right?

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

Like ideally, I want to click a button and before I can even like, you know, within the 100 milliseconds it even takes me to realize something happened, boom, I have the confirmation like my trade will be included and then within like say four seconds, I know at which price, right?

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

Like I think that's the world we ideally want to be in.

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

And we have a really, really exciting roadmap there as well, but it is a separate roadmap from ZK EVM.

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

Yeah, that's what I was talking about.

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

We are aspiring to that.

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

That's not just aspiring.

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

That seems so indeterminate optimism.

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

We actually have a plan that will come down.

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

It will come down as early as towards the end of this year.

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

That's not quite certain yet, but basically we're starting to make this a priority as well, and it will rapidly then become a major priority.

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

Well, it's basically you have three things.

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

You have the time to inclusion confirmation.

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

You have the actual time to the next block.

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

And you have the time to finality.
