According to CoinDesk, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has released a long-term roadmap, referred to as Streamlining Ethereum. The vision proposes that by 2030, Ethereum will surpass a mere blockchain ledger and plans to completely restructure the protocol in the next three to four years.The transformation includes expanding transaction throughput by approximately 1000 times, introducing zero-knowledge proofs to enhance privacy and combat quantum computing threats. By 2030, the network is expected to accommodate 2TB of traditional dynamic state data, along with an additional 100TB of new scalable storage, to achieve underlying state separation and optimization. The vision also aims to establish Ethereum as an infrastructure driven by cryptographic validation, with applications extending from finance to social systems. Most developers support this plan, although some voices believe the implementation timeline is somewhat delayed.

Hester Peirce, a commissioner of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), stated at the SIFMA Digital Assets Conference that regulators should reconsider traditional financial monitoring methods, shifting from "collecting more data" to utilizing new technologies for more precise verification.Peirce mentioned that technologies like zero-knowledge proofs can verify whether users meet requirements such as age, citizenship, accredited investor status, or sanctions lists without disclosing underlying personal information like names, income, or addresses.Hester Peirce suggested that the federal government and regulatory agencies adopt attribute-based verification when technically feasible and allow registered entities to rely more on third-party identity verification to reduce the redundant collection and storage of sensitive information.Peirce also stated that public blockchains have permanent, public, and auditable transaction records, and combined with blockchain forensic tools, they are expected to enhance the ability to track illegal activities while reducing unnecessary data collection.

Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, delivered a keynote speech at the 12th Global Blockchain Summit, stating that the blockchain was initially a primary tool. Although it has characteristics such as openness, neutrality, and security, it is not scalable and is completely transparent, lacking privacy protection mechanisms.Subsequently, privacy transactions and scalable verification brought by zero-knowledge proofs have changed this situation and have been transformed from planning into actual EIPs, included in the Ethereum roadmap. Technologies such as fully homomorphic encryption are also beginning to be applied, and indistinguishable obfuscation may also be applied on-chain in the future. Beyond privacy, the parallel construction and proof of blocks can make extreme scalability possible, and industry thinking has shifted from digital assets to digital assets plus information, from purely on-chain to user-end, transaction memory pools, a complete pipeline on-chain, and from who can send what to who can see what.Currently, blockchain has gradually evolved from a simple ledger to a cryptography-based secure computing network. With the development of AI, providing cryptographic rules to AI for automated formal verification can significantly enhance verification efficiency, allowing the chain to carry more possibilities.

According to The Block, Aztec Labs has acquired Obsidion, the company behind the open-source privacy identity verification tool ZKPassport. Its co-founders Michael Elliot and Theo Madzou, along with their team, will join Aztec Labs to continue developing ZKPassport and related applications.Aztec Labs is building the Ethereum privacy layer two network Aztec Network, which raised approximately $60 million worth of ETH through the AZTEC token sale last year, and previously secured about $125 million in venture capital.ZKPassport allows users to read passports or government documents via mobile NFC, generating cryptographic signatures locally for verifying age, nationality, and "real identity" without exposing full privacy. It has been used for ticketing at the Devconnect conference and for compliance identity verification in the Aztec community token sale. Aztec stated that it will continue to keep the ZKPassport protocol and iOS application open source.

According to token unlocking data from the Crypto asset data platform RootData, zkPass (ZKP) will unlock approximately 16.62 million tokens at 11:00 AM Beijing time on May 19, worth about 1.39 million USD.

According to Arkham monitoring, the zkPass team's multi-signature address (0xEF1) transferred a total of 10,000,000 ZKP to Binance in the past 30 minutes, worth approximately $796,100.Currently, the circulating supply of ZKP is 268 million, and this distribution amount accounts for about 3.73% of its total circulating supply. ZKP is currently priced at $0.07964, with a 24-hour decline of 7.35%, and its circulating market capitalization is currently $21.37 million.

According to token unlocking data from the crypto asset data platform RootData, zkPass (ZKP) will unlock approximately 16.62 million tokens at 11:00 AM Beijing time on April 19, worth about 1.15 million USD.

According to the token unlock data from the crypto asset data platform RootData, zkPass (ZKP) will unlock approximately 16.62 million tokens on March 19 at 11:00 AM Beijing time, worth about 1.4 million USD.

According to token unlock data from the crypto asset data platform RootData, zkPass (ZKP) will unlock approximately 16.62 million tokens on February 19 at 11:00 AM Beijing time, worth about 1.52 million USD.

According to Binance spot data, the market has experienced significant fluctuations. ZKP has dropped by 14.18% in the last 24 hours, while RONIN has increased by 18.62% and reached a new high for today.At the same time, KSM is in a "high and then low" state, with a 24-hour decline of 5.19%. Other tokens such as ASTER, AXS, and IMX have also reached new highs today, with increases ranging from 3.08% to 9.41%.

Vitalik Buterin posted on the X platform that enhancing bandwidth is safer and more reliable than reducing latency. With the help of PeerDAS and ZKP, Ethereum's scalability can increase by thousands of times, and this does not conflict with decentralization. However, latency is constrained by physical laws and real-world environments, especially when supporting global home nodes, censorship resistance, and anonymity.He pointed out that reducing latency to a range of 2-4 seconds is a reasonable goal, while applications requiring higher real-time performance (such as AI-driven ones) will rely on L2 and "city chains" for localized scaling.

According to Binance spot data, the market has experienced significant fluctuations. ZKP has increased by 58.13% in 24 hours, Binance Life has risen by 46.7% in 24 hours, and there has been a sharp increase in 5 minutes.At the same time, AUCTION, OG, STRAX, AMP, and RPL have all shown a "high and then low" state, with declines of 7.34%, 7.41%, 9.72%, 6.65%, and 12.4%, respectively.

According to OnchainSchool monitoring, the suspected ZKP team transferred a total of approximately 30,000,000 ZKP tokens to Binance, worth 4,850,000 USD.
