The foundation noted zkEVM projects achieved notable performance gains over the past year, but some designs rely on unvetted mathematical assumptions that could theoretically enable on-chain state forgery. The next phase will emphasize formal verification, attack resistance and cryptographic robustness, with the foundation providing security review tools and requiring zkEVMs to reach the 128-bit level recognized by mainstream cryptography. The foundation acknowledged the new standard may slow some scaling initiatives but stressed that strong attack resistance and trustworthiness are key prerequisites for attracting institutional users and high-value applications.
