ZKsync’s Airbender zkVM Proves Ethereum Blocks in 35 Seconds

ZKsync’s Airbender Helps Prove Ethereum Blocks in Under 35 Seconds on Single GPU

Matter Labs, the company behind the development of Ethereum layer 2 ZKsync, unveiled a new open-source RISC-V-based zero-knowledge virtual machine (zkVM) called Airbender. “Powered by Airbender, ZKsync OS (our new zkEVM execution environment) is proving Ethereum blocks end-to-end in under 35 seconds on a single GPU,” said the team in a post on X. “This opens the door for truly decentralized at-home proving.” For context, existing setups require …

ZKsync’s Airbender zkVM Proves Ethereum Blocks in 35 Seconds

The new prover, which is based on RISC-V, a newer programming framework that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has suggested to replace the current EVM with.

Zero-knowledge proofs, explained - WorldNL Magazine

What are zero-knowledge proofs? Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) are an innovative cryptographic method that enables a party (the prover) to validate a claim to another (the verifier) without disclosing any detailed information about the claim itself. When the subject of a contract or transaction involves highly sensitive or confidential data, ZKPs ensure safe and private transactions while securing the subject matter of the transaction throughout t…

ZKsync Airbender Breaks Cryptographic Proving Record By Six Times

Airbender by ZKsync demonstrated that it could deliver Ethereum block proofs in 35 seconds, with performance exceeding the former cryptographic proving record by six times. Matter Labs co-founder Alex Gluchowski claimed that the open-source tech could level the playing field for block proving, which is currenly dominated by large industrial GPU farms. Matter Labs’ ZKsync, a Layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum (ETH), recently reached a new mile…
