This article provides an in-depth analysis of the innovative applications of zero-knowledge proof technology in the blockchain field, detailing the zkVM implementation based on the RISC-V architecture by RISC Zero, as well as its development of a series of open-source tools and products, such as Zeth, Kailua, and Bonsai. These tools play a crucial role in enhancing blockchain verification performance, reducing costs, and promoting the Ethereum ZK upgrade. As zkVM technology continues to optimize, its development potential will gradually be realized across various application scenarios. However, to fully unlock this potential, ecosystem collaboration and the practical performance of technology implementation will remain key.

While Web3 is often described as “read, write, own”, we believe a better notion for the third iteration of the internet is “read, write, verify” given that the key benefit of public blockchains is guaranteed computation and easy verification that these guarantees were honored.
