Prysm Team's Glamsterdam Headliner - HackMD

When considering what headliner to select for Glamsterdam we looked to the three strategic initiatives the Ethereum Foundation has charted for the next 12 months: scaling L1 execution, scaling L2...

6/ @barnabemonnot, Protocol Lead on Glamsterdam:

barnabe.eth

@barnabemonnot

This is where I'm at right now! All proposals from S- to C-tier imo deserve serious consideration, this is not a ranking of how "good" each proposal is, but really a priority list. We're spoiled for choice this time around!

That said... 6lamsterdam

ZKsync (∎, ∆)

@zksync

Ethereum is going all-in on ZK.

If this plays out, ZK-based systems will become core Ethereum infrastructure.

What does this mean for @zksync? A great deal.

0/ L1 zkEVMs are coming soon to Ethereum mainnet. They will allow us to significantly scale the gas limit and enable native zk-rollups without sacrificing the levels of security, liveness, and censorship-resistance that make Ethereum unique.

@CathieDWood

I can’t say I understand all of the details here, but the Ethereum Foundation does seem to be proposing the right moves for scalability and privacy to maintain its lead in the institutional world.

@rhadiARK

Yesterday, the Ethereum Foundation (EF) published a blog announcing intent to go all-in on integrating zero-knowledge (zk) into the Ethereum L1: blog.ethereum.org/2025/07/10/rea…
This could be a major upgrade, with massive implications for scalability and privacy.
