How to Make Real Time Proving Possible Today and Why
summary
T1 claims real-time proving under 12s by combining TEEs, ZKPs and cryptoeconomic restaking so a node can follow other rollups and produce verifiable state within two L1 blocks. A live DevNet shows near-instant cross-rollup deposits/withdrawals and a demo reduces EIP-7683 intent settlement from intents settlement 60m→1m. Security uses deterministic inputs, multi‑TEE consensus with stake slashing and a bespoke ZKP safety mechanism that triggers full ZK proofs as value‑at‑risk grows. DevNet instant demo is shown working.
