Next Generation ZK Applications with SP1
summary
SP1 is a ZK virtual machine that compiles Rust to a RISC‑V ISA and generates proofs; the team claims it is the fastest ZKVM by an order of magnitude using a precompile‑centric design plus an optimized GPU prover. They prove a Rust Ethereum client in ~1,100 lines, convert OP‑stack rollups into full ZK rollups, and build ZK light clients for Cosmos/Bitcoin. Measured proving cost shows about 0.1–0.2 cents per transaction (peaks ~0.3 cents) and SP1 runs on desktop and is being ported to mobile.
