Introducing SP1: A performant, 100% open-source, contributor-friendly zkVM.
We’re excited to announce Succinct Processor 1 (SP1): our first-generation zero-knowledge virtual machine (zkVM) that verifies the execution of arbitrary Rust (or any LLVM-compiled language) programs. SP1 targets an order of magnitude performance improvement vs. existing zkVMs—its alpha release is already up to 28x faster for certain programs and competitive with circuit-based approaches. SP1 is a 100% open-source, contributor-friendly public good that takes a collaborative approach towards building the best zkVM for rollups, coprocessors, and other ZKP applications. SP1 is continuously evolving—disrupting the status quo of black-box zkVMs that are hard to customize and keep up to date with the latest proof system advances. Start building with SP1 and contributing today. Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) are a powerful primitive that will enable a new generation of more secure, scalable and innovative blockchain architectures that rely on truth not trust. But ZKP adoption has been held back
