ZKsync unveils \'Airbender Prime\' zero-knowledge prover for Ethereum

Ethereum layer-2 network ZKsync unveiled \'Airbender Prime\', a zero-knowledge prover for Ethereum. ZKsync said tests showed it continuously proved 7,200 Ethereum mainnet blocks using a single Nvidia RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell GPU, with 99 percent of blocks taking under 10 seconds. The prover is based on the open standard RISC-V and uses hash-based STARK proofs, with a separate verifier provided for independent verification.

Ethereum \'Glamsterdam\' upgrade nears, key dates to watch

Ethereum\'s next upgrade, Glamsterdam, is entering its final stage, with related work including EIP-7928 nearing completion. Testing continues on a developer network, with the first public test, the Sepolia fork, scheduled for Oct. 6. A mainnet rollout has been indicated for the fourth quarter of 2026, though no exact date has been disclosed. The upgrade targets faster processing, higher capacity and limiting database bloat, and also includes ePBS changes to block validation.

Ethereum Foundation sets Dec 2029 target for quantum resistance across mainnet

The Ethereum Foundation has laid out a roadmap to make the entire Ethereum mainnet quantum-resistant by December 2029. The target is to convert all three layers of Ethereum L1 — execution, consensus and data — to a quantum-resistant structure. The timeline is set on the assumption that a quantum-computing “Q-day” could arrive as early as 2030. Ethereum aims to implement its next major upgrade, Glamssterdam, in December and then deliver full quantum resistance through five further upgrades.
