So now that we have the ZK EVM and it's in the Ethereum blockchain and it's up and running, what does that actually change with Ethereum?

When we get to this point, how does Ethereum actually change?

Right.

You zoomed in on each one of those three.

And as you just said, you put those three together.

That's how a blockchain becomes a blockchain.

And we improve all three of those things.

I want to zoom out and really focus at that level of advantage.

When we reconstruct how a blockchain becomes a blockchain on all three comprehensively, you really kind of said it when you said Ethereum uses its own data availability to be a ZK rollout.

As I understand it, the ZK EVM, when it is up and running and operational and fully fleshed out and forked into Ethereum, the Ethereum layer one has the performance of a blockchain that is a ZK, that would like be a ZK rollup.

In fact, it maybe even is ZK.

A ZK rollup, it just also is the layer one itself.

And so we get all the performance benefits of rollups.

We get to ZK everything, which unlocks the brakes, takes off the brakes on the Ethereum layer one.

And we already have the infrastructure needed

with the data availability sampling for this to get done.

And so from a performance perspective, the Ethereum Layer 1, which is known to be a slow, antiquated, you know, expensive blockchain to do computation on, upgrades itself to have the performance properties of a ZK roll-up.

Is that a true statement that I just said?

Yeah, I think that's right.

The idea is that we're pressing the gas on scaling on multiple fronts, not waiting for the Manhattan Project of the ZK EVM, which the ZK EVM has been in the Ethereum roadmap since Genesis, I think.
