ZKsync launches Open Source RISC-V zkEVM 'ZKsync Airbender'

Golden Finance reported that the second layer of the ETH Ethereum, ZKsync, announced the release of the Open Source RISC-V zkVM ‘ZKsync Airbender,’ which supports fast verification of ETH Ethereum transactions on a single GPU. For example, on the H100 GPU, ‘ZKsync Airbender’ can achieve a basic verification speed of about 21.8 MHz, around 3.45 MHz on SP1 Turbo, and about 1.1 MHz on RisZero. This means that ZKsync OS (ZKsync’s zkEVM execution environment) can achieve end-to-end ETH Ethereum Block proof on a single GPU within 35 seconds, thereby reducing on-chain costs. It is reported that ZKsync Airbender has completed internal audits and is currently in the early testing phase.
