In its framework, developers plan to &#8220;ensure reliable and fair inclusion into the blockchain of verifiably neutral transactions, and also address MEV issues&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Another change concerns the fourth phase \u2014 The Verge. It was previously focused on integrating the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.ethereum.org\/2021\/12\/02\/verkle-tree-structure\">Verkle tree<\/a>, which provides a proof for a user to verify the authenticity of the entire data set.<\/p>\n<p>Now, under The Verge, they also plan to simplify block verification and render Ethereum a quantum-resistant network, fully supporting zk-SNARK.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Buterin <a href=\"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/news\/vitalik-buterin-explains-the-role-of-zk-rollups-in-ethereum-scalability\">named<\/a> the zk-Rollups-based protocol, built on this technology, as the priority tool for solving Ethereum&#8217;s scalability problem.<\/p>\n<p>Arcane Assets&#8217; Director of Investments, Eric Wall, noted that the updated roadmap does not use the term &#8216;sharding&#8217;.
