Vitalik Buterin took the stage to speak on "Ethereum To da moon": 12 seconds to complete L1 – L2 communication, choose two out of OP, ZK, TEE verification methods.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin explained Ethereum's long-term goal of achieving L1 and L2 native asynchronous communication within 12 seconds in a speech at the Web3 Scholars Summit 2025 in Hong Kong today (8), and proposed a 4-step scheme to reduce the L2 status confirmation time to 12 seconds. (Synopsis: ETHTaipei 2025 April is coming, three highlights are a sneak peek, and Wang Xiaowei, the new executive director of the Ethereum Foundation, will share the stage with V God) (Background supplement: V God AMA Highlights: Is Rollups a good thing for Ethereum or is it blood-sucking? What is the ultimate narrative of ETH? 3.0 Progress... Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin appeared at the "Web3 Scholars Summit 2025" in Hong Kong today (8) and delivered a speech, V God said in the speech that Ethereum's long-term goal is to shorten the L2 status confirmation time to 12 seconds, and at the beginning of the speech, V God also used a picture of Ethereum with To the Moon to let the audience feel the evolution and future of Ethereum. Vitalik first pointed out that Optimism (OP) and Arbitrum (ARB) take about a week to confirm the withdrawal status at this stage, although usually users can use an intent bridge. But the cost is expensive, so Ethereum needs to accelerate significantly in L1 and L2 communication and become a more integrated ecosystem, solving the challenge of fragmentation to bring users a better experience. To this end, he proposes a four-step solution: 1. ZK (Zero-Knowledge Proof) + TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) + OP (Optimistic Rollups) three-choice design: Create a trustless, mature and immediate verification system, which helps reduce the final confirmation time of a block from 1 week to 1 hour.

Proof aggregation: Instead of submitting multiple proofs to the chain, validators should all submit an integrated proof to one aggregator, which will help significantly reduce gas costs. 4. Low-latency verifier: Ultra-parallel verification operations built on the ZK RISC-V architecture. Source: Youtube @DRK Lab V God finally emphasized that Ethereum's long-term goal is to achieve L1 and L2 native asynchronous communication (asynchronous communication) within 12 seconds, the cost has become very cheap, and in the future, users can still use intent to perform many operations to get faster confirmation than 12 seconds or a better cost experience, but in the future, Ethereum's L1 and L2 will be more closely linked and become a more integrated environment. Make the experience faster and simpler for all. Related stories Ethereum falls back five years ago!
