Odaily Planet Daily reports that Vitalik Buterin stated that the current ZK-EVM has entered the alpha stage, with production-level performance, and the remaining work mainly focuses on security; meanwhile, PeerDAS has officially launched on the Ethereum mainnet. Vitalik pointed out that this is not a gradual optimization but a transformation of Ethereum into a new type of P2P network that combines decentralization, consensus mechanisms, and high bandwidth. He reviewed that BitTorrent has high bandwidth but no consensus, while Bitcoin has consensus but bandwidth is limited due to full replication; after introducing PeerDAS (Data Availability Sampling) and ZK-EVM, Ethereum is expected to achieve decentralization, consensus, and high throughput simultaneously. The three-way dilemma has been solved through “real code running on the mainnet.” Among them, PeerDAS is already running on the mainnet, and ZK-EVM has reached production-level performance. Vitalik predicts that starting in 2026, with the promotion of mechanisms like BAL and ePBS, the Gas limit will gradually increase, and there will be practical opportunities to run ZK-EVM nodes; between 2026 and 2028, Gas re-pricing, state structure adjustments, and execution load entering blobs will occur; by 2027–2030, ZK-EVM is expected to become the main method for verifying network blocks, further promoting the increase of Gas limits. Additionally, he mentioned the importance of distributed block construction, with the long-term goal of avoiding complete block construction at any single location, and dispersing block construction authority through on-protocol or off-protocol methods to reduce centralization risks and improve regional fairness.

ETH Falls 0.79% in 15 Minutes: Large Transfers Flowing Into Exchanges and Deleveraging Trigger Sharp Pullback
On 2026-03-16 from 18:45 to 19:00 (UTC), ETH experienced a rapid decline, with the candle showing a return of -0.79%, trading range of 2320.12 to 2339.93 USDT, and amplitude of 0.85%. Trading volume was active during this period with notably increased market attention and intensified volatility.
The main driver of this price movement was large on-chain ETH inflows concentrating into exchanges, creating significant spot selling pressure. On-chain data showed multiple transfers exceeding 10,000 ETH flowing to centralized platforms, pushing exchange net inflows up 18% sequentially, correlating with the price decline.
