According to @Tetranode, Vitalik Buterin says Ethereum’s combination of PeerDAS on mainnet and ZK-EVMs at alpha with production-quality performance means the scalability trilemma is solved with live running code, while safety work remains for ZK-EVMs; he expects small portions of the network to use ZK-EVMs in 2026.

Vitalik states PeerDAS is already live on mainnet and ZK-EVMs are production-quality on performance today, with the trilemma solution emerging from these components; he frames this as a fundamental shift to a decentralized, consensus-enabled, high-bandwidth network. Source: x.com/VitalikButerin/status/2007559523528233041. He outlines a rollout timeline: in 2026, non-ZK-EVM-dependent gas limit increases driven by BALs and ePBS with first opportunities to run a ZK-EVM node; in 2026–28, gas repricings, state structure changes, and execution payload moving into blobs; in 2027–30, further large gas limit increases as ZK-EVMs become the primary way to validate blocks. Source: x.com/VitalikButerin/status/2007559523528233041. For context, he contrasts previous p2p paradigms—BitTorrent (high bandwidth, decentralized, no consensus) and Bitcoin (decentralized with consensus but low bandwidth due to replication)—with Ethereum’s intended decentralized, consensus, high-bandwidth design under PeerDAS and ZK-EVMs. Source: x.com/VitalikButerin/status/2007559523528233041.
