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

So that's basically the performance, security, production, and then full transition.

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

That's how I think about it.

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

It's like one year at a time.

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

In terms of what comes after the transition, well, it's just, I think,

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

And that's why I was saying earlier, like with the further you go out, the more unknown unknowns there are.

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

It's just about saying at that point, we will have all of the ingredients.

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

Like, you know, we have the partial statusness, we have the block and blobs, and we have the ZKVM to take advantage for scaling.

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

But we don't expect that once we get closer, that it's like a one-time switch and now we can run it a thousand times faster.

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

Instead, we basically, like right now, conservatively, quote unquote, are projecting this three times per year because we expect that there will be individual remaining challenges we have to address, right?

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

Maybe we have to restructure the way nodes sync, or maybe you have to restructure the way RPC nodes, again, operate.

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

So you're confident that the chain is still usable at higher rates, right?

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

So this is just expressing that

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

while we have the main architectural ingredients, there will still be a lot of like detail work.

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

And so we expect instead of making use of it all at once, it's going to be this continuous process.

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

And again, the nice thing about this rough 3x number is if you just say, look, every two years you get a rough 10x, 9x, 10x.

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

So basically we're thinking we have like a path for maybe,

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

five or six years of this.

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

So six years at 10X every two years means 1,000X.

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

So basically the first three years of that we get traditionally, then the next three years, so this is EKVM.

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

So in six years, roughly 1,000X of where we started last year
