I recently came across an interesting perspective shared by industry influencers, discussing how Ethereum's technical architecture manages to address the two most contradictory demands in blockchain—high bandwidth and security.

They used BitTorrent downloading as an analogy, which is quite illustrative. If you've used BitTorrent, you know the speed is really fast—the more seeders there are, the faster you can download. This is a typical high-bandwidth scenario. Conversely, Bitcoin's security is indisputable, but its bandwidth and scalability are relatively limited.

So how does Ethereum break this deadlock? By combining two technical solutions—PeerDAS and ZK-EVM. PeerDAS has already been officially deployed in recent upgrades, while ZK-EVM is still in the alpha stage but showing promising momentum. There is a four-year timeline, with expected nodes running ZK-EVM starting around 2026, and by 2030, this solution should become mainstream.

From the perspective of the crypto market, such technological advancements often become focal points of market attention. Whether for long-term value investors in Bitcoin or Ethereum, these engineering breakthroughs are worth watching—they relate to the future capacity and performance ceiling of the entire ecosystem.

Honestly, are nodes only starting in 2026? I'm almost tired of waiting while I'm fully invested in ETH now. It'll be a few more years... But once ZK-EVM is rolled out, it will truly be a game-changer. Whoever holds the chips at that time will win. I'm holding on tightly and not selling.

PeerDAS is already online, but ZK-EVM won't become mainstream until 2030? That's too slow. It seems like Ethereum is still stacking solutions rather than truly solving the problem.

No hype, no negativity. I think the ZK-EVM part is a bit optimistic; it might only become mainstream by 2030, which is pretty slow. PeerDAS is already live, so you can feel the difference now, but the real killer app hasn't appeared yet. Honestly, I'm more concerned about how these upgrades will impact Gas fees. No matter how fancy the talk from big influencers, users only care about how much is left in their wallets. The BT analogy is good, but the difficulty of blockchain is much greater than P2P downloads. These two scenarios can't be simply compared. If Ethereum's combination punches can really connect, it will definitely stir market sentiment in the short term, but whether it can truly be implemented depends on subsequent execution. Getting security and bandwidth sorted at the same time? Easy to say, but historically, such promises are only about 50% reliable. I've heard of PeerDAS, but ZK-EVM is still in the exploratory stage. Let's be cautiously optimistic, everyone.

PeerDAS is already launched, ZK-EVM still has to wait until 2030? That's quite a long time span, feels pretty far. But on the other hand, making progress in technology is definitely good for the ecosystem.

Speaking of PeerDAS being already launched, ZK-EVM still has to wait until 2030 to become mainstream... Is this timetable real? Who would believe it? I don't understand why there's always a comparison with BT; their nature is completely different. If ETH can truly solve both of these problems at the same time, that would be impressive, but it's probably a bit early to say that now. Nodes in 2026, mainstream by 2030... Can four years really change the game? I remain skeptical. The combination of bandwidth + security sounds excellent, but I wonder if the actual deployment will be delayed or not. If this technological breakthrough truly materializes, the secondary market should have already reacted, so why is it still like this now?
