Ethereum's Role in On-Chain Real-World Asset Settlement Highlighted!
According to PANews, Ethereum has been identified as a key platform for on-chain real-world asset settlement, as reported by Ethereum's official source citing data from @RWA_xyz. Ondo Finance, which issues on-chain physical assets such as stocks, ETFs, and government bonds, has approximately 77% of its total value locked (TVL) deployed on Ethereum. This accounts for about 11.6% of the total TVL in Ethereum's real-world asset sector, underscoring Ethereum's central role in this domain.
Ethereum's Progress Towards Integrating Zero-Knowledge Cryptography!
According to Odaily, Ethereum Foundation's Co-Executive Director Hsiao-Wei Wang discussed the network's steady advancement towards incorporating zero-knowledge cryptography as a fundamental component in the future. In an interview with CoinDesk, Wang described zero-knowledge as part of Ethereum's mid-term roadmap, highlighting several breakthroughs achieved over the past year or two. While current upgrades focus on improving Layer 2 network execution and Blob space, zero-knowledge as a protocol-level feature is becoming increasingly feasible.
Ethereum researchers have released plans for a native zkEVM, enabling the network to use zero-knowledge proofs to verify transactions by default. This technology significantly reduces the workload required to secure Ethereum, allowing for scalability without compromising decentralization or reliability. Wang emphasized that despite the network's continuous evolution, risk resistance, security, censorship resistance, and neutrality remain core to Ethereum.
