How far is Ethereum from breaking the "Impossible Triangle"? An overview of PeerDAS and ZK-EVM developments

【BitPush】Ethereum has approached the long-standing “Impossible Triangle” problem that has plagued blockchain technology for years at the technical level. The key lies in two upgrades: PeerDAS and ZK-EVM.

PeerDAS was launched on the mainnet last year, solving the data availability bottleneck. Although ZK-EVM is still improving security, its performance has already reached production standards. According to the plan, it will begin trial operation in the network by 2026.

In the coming years, Ethereum needs to adjust the gas cap, reconstruct the state structure, and gradually introduce more verification mechanisms based on ZK-EVM. Only then can it truly find a balance between decentralization, security, and high throughput.

This is not a castle in the air. All of these are built on an already operational codebase. Over the past decade, Ethereum has made tremendous efforts to solve data availability and scalability issues. Now, this long-term vision is finally beginning to move from the laboratory to reality.

It's 2026 again... I feel like I've heard this kind of promise many times before.

Wait, PeerDAS is already online? How come I just heard about it? Or have I been too busy lately to pay attention... Is ZK-EVM only in trial operation in 2026? Feels like we have to wait again. The progress with Ethereum is a bit... how should I say, I hope they don't delay again. But honestly, if we really want to crack the triangle, lowering gas fees is the key, right? Transferring still costs an outrageous amount now.

We still have to wait until 2026, but at least the roadmap is no longer just empty promises. PeerDAS is already up and running, and it's truly different.

Launching in 2026? That's another two years of waiting. I thought we would see revolutionary changes this year. However, PeerDAS is already up and running, which is indeed impressive, definitely better than projects that just keep shouting slogans every day.

Will it only be trial operation in 2026? We still have to wait a bit longer, as it always feels like a promise of "the next cycle."

Launching ZK-EVM in 2026? Wait a minute, this pace is really a bit slow... But I won't hype or criticize. Since PeerDAS is already up and running, it shows that they are genuinely working on something.
