Organization: Reopening the Strait of Hormuz is not difficult, but the full recovery of oil flow may take several years

2 hours ago

April 20 — An analyst said intermittent shipping in the Strait of Hormuz underscores the uncertain state of the key global oil and gas chokepoint. One thing is clear, though: even if the conflict subsides, oil flows through the narrow waterway will take months, possibly years, to rebound to pre-conflict levels. The speed of recovery hinges not only on U.S.-Iran diplomatic progress, but also on logistics, tanker insurance availability, freight rates, and whether shipowners are willing to risk transiting the strait. Global tanker fleet rebalancing and a return of Gulf loading operations to pre-conflict levels will be uneven, with at least 8-12 weeks needed even under favorable conditions. (Source: Jinse)

The roadmap is split into three phases: short-term milestones, mid-term state optimizations, and long-term protocol ossification, with a focus on quantum resistance, zero-knowledge proof verification (ZK-EVM), and protocol anti-fragility. For execution-layer scalability, short-term gains will come from Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) driving aggressive optimizations: these include a block-level access list to enable transaction parallelization, a revised gas prici
