ConsenSys CEO Lubin Sets 3-5 Year Timeline for Fully ZK Ethereum

On June 11, ConsenSys CEO Joseph Lubin reaffirmed Ethereum’s push toward a fully zero-knowledge proof-based protocol within three to five years, aiming to boost speed, security, affordability and cross-layer composability. The latest commentary builds directly on June 10 statements in which Lubin first outlined the timeline and highlighted real-time ZK proving already live on Layer 2s plus the planned mid-2026 Glamsterdam hard fork. The shift marks a convergence phase after earlier liquidity fragmentation, with Linea and Gnosis cited as working examples and Lean Ethereum targeting over 10,000 TPS at the base layer.
