Plonky3 achieves over 2 million hashes per second with recent optimizations.
Vitalik Buterin acknowledges the milestone, playfully suggesting a new challenge.
He noted that the speed allows for re-hashing a full Ethereum consensus state in a single processing slot.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin praised Plonky3’s new speed milestone, highlighting its significance for Polygon’s zkEVM ecosystem. Plonky3 is an advanced zero-knowledge (ZK) proof system developed by Polygon Labs.
In a post published Wednesday, Polygon network developer Daniel Lubarov revealed that Plonky3 now achieves a performance level of over 2 million hashes per second. This means Plonky3 can re-hash a full Ethereum consensus state within a single processing slot.
Buterin Acknowledges Plonky3’s Achievement
This development caught the attention of Buterin, who acknowledged the Plonky3 team for their success. He noted that their speed of 2 million hashes per second translates to 62 MB per second in Merkle hashing, which is sufficient to fully re-hash a theoretical maximum-sized Ethereum consensus state within one processing slot.
Buterin playfully challenged the team to expand the…
