• One of the key features of zkVM 1.0 is a more efficient testing process. The platform team also cites higher performance metrics as a benefit. Notably, zkVM 1.0 is developed in the Rust language, which allows generating proofs for various programs.

This feature allows the development of complex logic and removes the constraints typically associated with gas size and cost. The goal of the new platform for RISC Zero is to offload much of the computational work in the DApps #chain . The zk-proofing allows computation to be compacted and fast verification to be achieved. At the same time, verifiers do not perform the computation on their own.

Overall, this mechanism plays an important role in improving the scalability of #blockchain applications. It allows complex operations to be performed off-chain while keeping verification in the blockchain. Therefore, it can be used in areas where efficient and verifiable computation is important, such as in layer 2 blockchains and interchain bridges.

Typically, zkEVMs are designed for #ЛюбимыйТокен Virtual Machines (EVMs), and zkVMs are virtual machines that use ZK proof-of-concept for DApps. In addition to the recently launched zkVM 1.0, existing zkVMs include Nexus zkVM, Jolt from popular #cryptocurrency Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), and SPI from Succinct Labs, which recently became part of the Polygon and AggLayer collaboration. Check.

In the near future, zkVM 1.0 will support interoperability of DApps with any blockchain with an integrated RISC ZERO verifier. Thus, applications will be able to run on various chains such as Ethereum, Base, OP, World Chain, Arbitrum and Starknet.

To celebrate the launch of zkVM 1.0, RISC ZERO organized a trusted configuration ceremony. According to the project, the code has also undergone rigorous third-party audits.

Access to this high-performance zero-knowledge proof tool is open to users on GitHub.
