Google's Quantum AI team used @SuccinctLabs zkVM SP1 for responsible disclosure of a new SOTA quantum algorithm. Their paper presents a 20x more efficient implementation of Shor's algorithm for cracking secp256k1 keys: the elliptic curve used by Bitcoin and Ethereum. They

New @VitalikButerin blog post on replacing the EVM with RISC-V in the long-term. I am a huge fan of this direction for Ethereum's execution layer. Today, RISC-V zkVMs like SP1 are the clear endgame solution for "ZK-ifying" Ethereum and quickly becoming the de-facto solution for

Isn't the most popular application on Solana literally a factory for creating valueless tokens?

> Ethereum's modular approach is abundance mindset. It is a bet on developer creativity and infinitely many new applications. It is the future of crypto that I want to believe in. Weird way to spell “token”.

The Succinct Network will take SP1 from a great piece of open-source software to a movement, where anyone can join to help prove the world’s software. Prove with us.

The Solana mindset: You will eat bugs, you will live in a pod and you will deploy one of the 6 smart contracts that matter on a single chain. The Ethereum mindset: come to our ecosystem and build unstoppable applications with whatever customizations you want. Any VM, any

the "it won't fit in a single computer" thesis is special what's not going to fit in a single computer? what do you want to fit in the damn computer? 😂 different parts of the architecture handle different kinds of load, what if the entire load of a validator can indeed fit

This isn’t just another logo x logo partnership—this is a big fucking deal. So excited to form a deep partnership between @SuccinctLabs and @offchain to bring ZK to their rollup stack. Over the next year, our teams will collaborate on a ZKP version of Arbitrum’s rollup

We're bringing ZK to the Arbitrum ecosystem with @SuccinctLabs. Today we're unveiling Tandem's partnership with Succinct, enabling faster capital movement and simpler integration for developers through the power of modular ZK provers. 🧵

This is ZK’s man on the moon moment. Real-time Ethereum proving has landed. If you had asked anyone in ZK 1 year ago whether this was possible, they would have said it was a literal moonshot. A distant, pie in the sky achievement requiring breakthroughs across cryptography,

I finally understand @drakefjustin's native rollup vision, and I'm so fucking bullish Ethereum. Native rollups solve ETH value accrual and extend Ethereum L1 security to the entire rollup-centric roadmap. More details below ⬇️

By the way, the recent @VitalikButerin proposal around replacing the EVM with RISC-V was based on results we found in this paper about the 800x provability overhead of EVM in SP1. Some numbers from the paper:
