Ethereum Foundation’s zkEVM rollout envisions raising the gas limit once a supermajority of validators adopt zk clients, ultimately making proof verification mandatory and replacing block re-execution.

Quotes that support claims

When a supermajority of stake is comfortable running ZK clients, we can increase the gas limit to a level that would require validators running reasonable hardware to verify proofs instead of re-executing blocks.
As confidence grows—backed by audits, formal verification, and bug bounties—the gas limit could be raised to a point that makes proof checking the default.
