According to ChainCatcher, Xinxin Fan, chief scientist of the IoTeX research team, proposed a solution to improve the performance of ZK-SNARK systems by 20% to 40% in a paper published by the International Association for Cryptography Research. This solution can be applied to all ZK-SNARK systems. The paper was included in the ZK Newsletter and was selected as a Top Pick along with Vitalik's latest article. The IoTeX research team said that the solution has made a breakthrough in the field of zero-knowledge proof.

The solution in the paper about using the MSM algorithm to improve the performance of the ZK-SNARK system will first be applied in the IoTeX ecosystem's off-chain data computing module W3bstream, providing proof support for physical devices and off-chain data, allowing the DePIN project to be built on the chain more conveniently.
