of the transition of Ethereum to be a classical blockchain transitioning into a ZK blockchain.

And that will give Ethereum researchers like you, the EF, a lot of data of what it looks like to be in production because of these enthusiasts that are running this optionally because they just love Ethereum so much.

That will give you guys the information you need to do the prerequisite upgrades that are needed to actually get a full mandatory ZK EVM fork.

And as you alluded to, it will also give us just insight into, you know, in production use of the ZK EVM.

Maybe there are bugs.

If there are bugs, we need to find them before we make them mandatory.

And so, you know, all the different clients will have their own version of the ZK EVM and we'll be stress testing all of those by using them into production.

Basically, there's a whole era of

demo Ethereum ZK EVM.

And that will take, I think you said, you know, somewhere two to three years as we run out of classical scaling that we will have the hardened data and the information and we will do the prerequisite work to unlock mandatory ZK EVM

around two and a half, three years from now, the mandatory ZK EVM hard fork will happen.

And then Ethereum will make the transition to this is now a ZK EVM blockchain.

The story doesn't end there, though.

What happens after the mandatory ZK EVM fork?

How does the story continue beyond that point?

Yeah, we'll have to see.

But that's the plan.
