PANews, January 11—According to CoinDesk, Hsiao-Wei Wang, Co-Executive Director of the Ethereum Foundation, stated in an interview that Ethereum is steadily moving toward a future where zero-knowledge cryptography becomes a core part of the network. She described zero-knowledge technology as part of Ethereum's mid-term roadmap and noted that there have been many breakthroughs in this field over the past one to two years. Although recent upgrades have still focused on improving Layer 2 network execution and blob space, making zero-knowledge a protocol-level feature is becoming increasingly feasible. Introducing zero-knowledge directly into Ethereum's core could significantly reduce the amount of work required to secure the network, making it easier to scale without sacrificing decentralization or reliability. Hsiao-Wei Wang emphasized that even as the network continues to evolve, resilience, censorship resistance, and neutrality remain at the heart of Ethereum.
