An Ethereum researcher's social media post has sparked speculation over a potential solution for Ethereum's scalability challenges.
There are rumors about an ETH 3.0 upgrade, including a second merge into a new consensus targeting 1-second block times and a native zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM).
Consensys CEO Joe Lubin discussed revisiting execution sharding and using zkEVM at layer-1 to solve Ethereum's scalability issues.
The implementation of these approaches could take several years but could potentially lead to millions of transactions per second on Ethereum.
