Moving forward on R0VM: RISC Zero
RISC Zero announces progress on R0VM 2.0, the first formally verified RISC-V zkVM. By using automated formal verification, the project aims to eliminate underconstrained bugs, a major security risk in ZK systems, ensuring provable correctness and stronger guarantees for developers.

RISC Zero’s Path to The First Formally Verified RISC-V zkVM
The lion’s share of security defects in ZK software come from circuits: one of the big reasons to use a zkVM like RISC Zero’s is to make it simple to secure your application, because you can write your application in a high level language like Rust and don’t have to write your own circuits. Unfortunately, you still have to trust that we got ours right. Circuits encode a computation as a set of constraints, a bunch of equations that describe the relationship between inputs and outputs for the computation.
