Ethereum research proposes DES

- Ethereum researchers published a Delegated Execution Sharding (DES) proposal describing a hyper‑parallelized zkEVM that uses execution committees, SNARK proofs and state expiry to partition transactions and avoid collisions. - DES architecture relies on execution committees producing SNARKable proofs and expiring state shards to scale execution while preserving validity and reducing cross‑shard contention. - If adopted, DES-style changes would materially affect rollup sequencing, calldata economics and the roadmap for long‑term L2 throughput (x.com)
