Proving Ethereum Full Nodes in ZK
summary
Claims a full-node consensus proof that verifies 20,000 validator signatures within a block time (12s) by using a Virgo (GKR) based prover that processes 3 million constraints/sec per core and recursive compression for on‑chain verification. A live demo runs on a single Steam Deck cluster node proving 256 signatures in ~3s; realistic production uses 64 inexpensive Steam Decks distributed to finish end-to-end proofs in 5–6s, with negligible per‑proof energy and lower hardware cost than traditional ZK miners.
