Ethereum is working on a major architectural upgrade that could change how blocks are validated on the network. According to Ethereum Foundation member ladislaus.eth, the plan involves moving away from re-running every transaction and instead verifying blocks using zero-knowledge proofs. Under the L1-zkEVM 2026 roadmap, a new proposal would allow validators to confirm blocks without full execution, improving efficiency. The first L1-zkEVM workshop is set for February 11, 2026.

Bitcoin’s price action remains volatile as traders battle for control. BTC briefly surged to $71,000, wiping out many bearish bets, before quickly dropping back near $68,000 and triggering losses for bullish traders as well. The sharp moves show uncertainty in the market. While upside pressure exists near the $72,000–$74,000 range, analysts say downside risk is building faster. Stronger selling interest is forming between $66,000 and $68,000, making this zone a key level to watch.
