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

Why Real-Time Matters The ability to prove Ethereum blocks in real-time is more than a technical milestone—it opens up new possibilities for the entire ecosystem. Here’s why it’s a big deal: • Scalability: It allows Ethereum Layer 1 to scale without losing its core feature—verifiability. • Security: Native rollups become safer and more robust. • Interoperability: Faster proofs lead to better connections between Ethereum and other blockchains or systems. Real-time proving is now a key piece of Ethereum’s roadmap moving forward. ⸻ The Race to Real-Time Last year, the Ethereum Foundation launched the EthProofs dashboard, a tool to monitor progress on zkVMs capable of proving mainnet Ethereum blocks quickly. This sparked a competitive race among teams around the world to reach the milestone first. With SP1 Hypercube, we’re proud to say: we got there.
