According to CryptoSlate, the Ethereum Foundation has told developers that the next phase of Ethereum’s evolution will prioritize security over raw performance. At the center of this shift is a clear directive: by 2026, 128-bit provable security will be a mandatory baseline for Layer 1 zkEVM implementations. The message is blunt. Fast proofs are no longer enough. According to CryptoSlate, the Ethereum Foundation has recently told developers that it will shift the ecosystem’s focus from chasing speed to ensuring security, with plans to fully enforce a 128-bit security standard in 2026. The Ethereum Foundation has effectively “hit the… — OKX
