The Ethereum Foundation plans to promote zkEVM to achieve a minimum security strength of 128 bits by 2026, emphasizing "security first, performance later."

Techub News reports, according to CryptoSlate, the Ethereum Foundation recently informed developers that it will shift its ecosystem development focus from pursuing speed to security, and plans to promote zkEVM to meet a minimum 128-bit security strength standard by 2026. The Foundation warned that without formally verified reliability, attackers could potentially rewrite on-chain states, turning "high-performance proofs" into risk points instead. The Foundation also stated that it will subsequently provide security review and assessment tools, and while advancing scaling, will prioritize strengthening formal verification and anti-attack capabilities.
