While Ethereum is winning in every way imaginable, Bitcoin is going into a full-on identity crisis, tearing down the whole crypto market with it.
The sooner ETH decouples and takes over from BTC, the sooner this industry will finally be taken seriously.
insanely BULLISH for ethereum scaling roadmap.
JUST IN: ZKSync's airbender team demonstrates two 5090 GPUs can generate a proof for every ethereum L1 block.
it means:
- block gas limits can increase safely
- L2s get cheaper
- blob usage goes up
- ETH burn intensifies
- settlement approaches real-time
- ZK proving becomes consumer-grade hardware
i break down further what this means for ethereum below:
> normally proving a block is computationally very expensive.
> now, 2 gaming GPUs → full L1 proofs (absurd efficiency)
If ZK proofs can be produced quickly for bigger blocks, then ethereum can safely increase block gas limits.
more gas per block → more transactions → more throughput → cheaper L2 fees → more blob use → more ETH burned.
if proving gets cheap enough, more people can run provers and L2s can settle faster.
ethereum is no longer expensive or slow. this makes ethereum provably and structurally scalable.
ETH.
