Ethereum Schedules February 11, 2026 L1-zkEVM Breakout Call for Major Validation Shift

Ethereum developers are preparing a major architectural change centered on EIP-8025 and an L1-zkEVM roadmap that introduces Optional Execution Proofs for block validation. A first breakout call on February 11, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. UTC will coordinate work across six areas, aiming to let nodes either keep full execution or verify zero-knowledge proofs to support higher activity while keeping validation more accessible.
