real-time proving is here
Mainnet EVM blocks proven in under 1 Ethereum slot (12s). Goosebumps.
Succinct proves every Ethereum L1 block:
→ 94% in <12s
→ 99% in <13s
→ 99.9% in <12s, soon™
Yesterday RISC Zero unveiled a $120K home GPU cluster—proofs expected in 9.25s. Brevis, OpenVM, Snarkify, ZisK, ZKM are weeks from joining the real-time club.
Soon™ my validator will verify EVM blocks on a Rasberry Pi Pico—a $5 board that consumes <1W. I will ditch my EL client in favour of a zkEL. No 1 TB NVMe. Goodbye Geth, hello zkReth. Stateless and RAMless verification in milliseconds on a single CPU core.
With real-time proving 1 gigagas/sec (10K TPS) is within reach, without compromising validator decentralisation. From now on expect regular gas limit bumps. 10% of stake is already voting for a 60M limit—your validators can too.
Snarkifying mainnet turns Ethereum L1 into the first based and native rollup. Stage 2. Bug-free. Decentralised sequencing. No security council. No governance. The L1 will lead by example.
This Friday we celebrate. Join us for Ethproofs call #2, May 23 at 2pm UTC. 25 speakers, 2 hours of content. Calls are open—DM @corcoranwill for a calendar invite.
We are witnessing history. Believe in something real. Believe in real-time proving.
