Sophia Gold, Engineer at the Ethereum Foundation, mentioned that Ethereum’s zkEVM architecture will allow validators to verify blocks by checking multiple independent zk-proofs instead of re-executing transactions.

Quotes that support claims

In a post titled “Shipping an L1 zkEVM #1: Realtime Proving,” protocol engineer Sophia Gold said validators will eventually be able to verify blocks by checking three independent zk-proofs instead of re-executing transactions.

The fastest and safest way to ship an L1 zkEVM is to start by giving validators the option to run clients that, rather than re-executing execution payloads, statelessly verify multiple (let’s say three) proofs generated by different zkVMs each proving different EVM implementations.
