According to CoinDesk, Ethereum Foundation Co-Executive Director Hsiao-Wei Wang stated that zero-knowledge proofs are being incorporated into Ethereum's mid-term roadmap and are expected to become an important part of the protocol layer in the future. She pointed out that recent technological breakthroughs over the past one or two years have made native zkEVM and zero-knowledge-based block verification more feasible, enhancing scalability while maintaining decentralization and security; in the short term, the network will continue to prioritize optimizing execution performance and Layer 2 blob space.
