Ethereum Foundation announced on December 21 that it will prioritize security over speed in 2026, enforcing 128-bit encryption as a baseline. The shift comes as some zkEVM solutions rely on unverified math, potentially affecting on-chain trading signals. The foundation will push for formal verification and attack resistance, requiring security reviews to meet the standard. While this may slow scaling projects, the move aims to improve the risk-to-reward ratio for institutional and high-value applications.
