Joseph Lubin Says Ethereum Could Become Fully ZK-Based Within 3 to 5 Years
Summary
- Joseph Lubin said Ethereum (ETH) could evolve into a fully zero-knowledge-proof (ZK)-based protocol within three to five years.
- He said innovation in ZK technology will significantly improve the security and efficiency of Ethereum’s Layer 1 (L1) and play a central role in improving scalability.
- The market is focused on the pace of related technological advances as the Ethereum Foundation and key developers present ZK rollups and ZK proofs as a core part of the next-generation scalability strategy.

Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin said Ethereum could evolve into a fully zero-knowledge-proof-based protocol within the next three to five years.
Unfolded reported on June 10 that continued innovation in ZK technology will significantly improve the security and efficiency of Ethereum’s Layer 1.
Lubin said ZK technology will play a central role in improving Ethereum’s scalability.
He added that it could enable synchronous composability with Layer 2 networks, allowing atomic execution and a more unified user experience.
Composability refers to a blockchain’s ability to let different applications and protocols interact seamlessly.
Lubin said advances in ZK technology will drive broader network integration and performance gains across the Ethereum ecosystem.
Interest in the pace of those advances is growing as the Ethereum Foundation and key developers increasingly present ZK rollups and ZK proofs as central to the network’s next-generation scalability strategy.
