ZKsync unveils \'Airbender Prime\' zero-knowledge prover for Ethereum
Ethereum layer-2 network ZKsync unveiled \'Airbender Prime\', a zero-knowledge prover for Ethereum. ZKsync said tests showed it continuously proved 7,200 Ethereum mainnet blocks using a single Nvidia RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell GPU, with 99 percent of blocks taking under 10 seconds. The prover is based on the open standard RISC-V and uses hash-based STARK proofs, with a separate verifier provided for independent verification.
