Woah, RiscZero recently announced they’re able to prove L1 blocks in 44s and are projecting to hit a major milestone of real time proving for L1 in July!!!

The real time zk event horizon is approaching

2/ ZK has gone through many stages:

From theoretical, to accessible, to now: fast and cost-efficient enough for real-world applications.

We’ve entered the real-time era. https://t.co/pcH7km8kgJ

3/ Since R0VM 1.0, we’ve cut proving time for Ethereum blocks from 35m to just 44 seconds (including execution) and we’re not done. 

We’re on track to reach real-time proving (&lt;12s) by July. https://t.co/4i4nBxwcG2

Blockchains are computers that check each others work to arrive at shared agreement.

Normally, this means everyone re-does all of the work and checks that we all got the same answer

With ZK, we can check everyone’s work with a special puzzle piece (a proof) but only if that puzzle is supplied to us

The problem is these puzzle pieces take a long time to create, and if we waited for the puzzle pieces today, we would slow down our blockchain. As this gets faster, we can start doing less work to verify the correctness of the blockchain
