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

That's, I think, again, is this guaranteed yet?

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

No, we don't yet have.

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

We think we see a path.

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

We think we see a path.

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

That's our goal.

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

And then, of course, beyond that, if you want to be more in sci-fi world, now you can think about native roll-ups.

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

So maybe the way we then keep scaling beyond that is not through just the single chain.

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

Maybe then we're back to this kind of sharding type setup of multiple chains synchronously composed.

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

So, I mean, of course, I think people will be familiar why client diversity is so core to Ethereum and to Ethereum's kind of 100% uptime, right?

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

Like there's the redundancy factor you get from client diversity.

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

And so the reason why this is relevant is just that like the nature of clients, the nature of client diversity changes in this world.

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

And that is because, again, if we think back to how I explained how there's like this basically

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

most likely RISC-V kind of intermediate target for ZK.

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

And then you basically, you just run a, of course, heavily modified, but basically like a traditional execution layer client that gets compiled to RISC-V.

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

And then you take one of those new ZK proving systems that then take the RISC-V code and prove execution over it, right?

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

So what that means is now basically the Ethereum execution layer nodes

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

inside of the ZK proofs, right?

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

Which is of course conceptually like very different from what that used to be before.

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

And so what it means is that now the actual node architecture is actually quite interesting.

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

You basically, you run, and that is a little bit still TBD.
