Ethereum Foundation Prioritizes 128-bit Security Standard by 2026
The Ethereum Foundation is shifting its focus from transaction speed to long-term network security, aiming for a full implementation of a 128-bit security standard by 2026. This move addresses concerns that current high-throughput solutions, particularly zkEVMs, may rely on unverified mathematical assumptions, creating vulnerabilities for state data manipulation.
The Foundation will provide tools for enhanced formal verification and cryptographic security assessments, ensuring all Layer 2 solutions meet the new standard. This strategy emphasizes the integrity of the ledger as Ethereum's primary value proposition, securing billions in assets against future cryptographic advancements.
