" summary

Claims a production ZKVM called SP1 and a global GPU-backed prover network that issues proofs on demand, with a utility token paying provers and fees in the millions since launch a month and a half ago. Reports securing $4B TVL for rollups and bridges (Mantle, Polygon Katana, AG Layer, Across) and enabling withdrawals under 30 minutes instead of days, and argues ZK proofs per Ethereum block, Google identity integration and Coinbase/JP Morgan interest make real‑world KYC and image provenance feasible.
