SP1 Hypercube: Bringing Real-Time Proving to Ethereum
May 27, 2025 @succinctlabs @0xCRASHOUT
A New Era in Ethereum Proving
We’re excited to introduce SP1 Hypercube, our next-generation zero-knowledge virtual machine (zkVM). Built from the ground up with cutting-edge cryptography, SP1 Hypercube can now prove Ethereum blocks in real-time—in less than 12 seconds.
That kind of performance felt impossible just a year ago. Today, it’s a reality.
What Makes SP1 Hypercube Special?
SP1 Hypercube is powered by a brand new proof system designed with multilinear polynomials, a fresh approach in the zero-knowledge space. This isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a total reimagining of how zkVMs can work.
The results speak for themselves:
• Proves 93% of Ethereum blocks in under 12 seconds
• Up to 5x faster than our previous version, SP1 Turbo
• Lower costs and improved efficiency
