Introducing R0VM 2.0
Zero-knowledge computing has evolved through three distinct eras, and we’ve been at the forefront of each one.
· The ZK Stone Age: Cryptographers built ZK apps by writing low-level circuits. Tooling was minimal, and ZK was out of reach for most people.
· R0VM 1.0 - From PhDs to Developers: With the first general-purpose zkVM, we made ZK accessible to developers. You could now write Rust, generate proofs, and verify them on any chain.
· R0VM 2.0 - The Real-Time Era: Now, performance arrives. ZK is not just accessible, but also fast and efficient enough to power modern blockchain applications.
