RISC Zero announces the launch of zkVM 1.0, a high-performance general-purpose zero-knowledge virtual machine product.
zkVM 1.0 will redefine the efficiency of blockchains and the way developers build decentralized applications, making zero-knowledge proofs more accessible, scalable, and practical than ever before. It has the following key features:
Cost-effectiveness and performance: zkVM 1.0 provides efficient cost-effective proofs that are more efficient than competitors and is the preferred solution for developers.
Stable API: The API is stable and mature, and developers can build and deploy applications without worrying about system crashes caused by the release of new versions of zkVM 1.0.
Enhanced expressiveness: Supports loading any Rust toolkit, no size or gas restrictions, and can handle complex logic.
Unlimited computation: No loop count or gas fee restrictions, supporting efficient off-chain computation and on-chain verification.
Interoperability: Seamless interoperability with any blockchain that supports RISC Zero Verifier, suitable for the development and deployment of distributed applications.
