ZKM officially released the next generation GPU-accelerated zkVM, named Ziren.
ChainCatcher message, ZKM has released the next generation zkVM (zk-SNARKs Virtual Machine) Ziren (formerly zkMIPS), which opens new possibilities for the deployability and scalability of zero-knowledge (ZK) systems in real-world application scenarios through GPU acceleration, a distributed proof architecture, and a deeply optimized constraint system. Ziren achieves a core proof speedup of 30 times, an aggregation proof speedup of 15 times, and an improvement in state preparation time from 5 minutes to 30 seconds, and has been put into use in the GOAT Network Bitcoin native zkRollup project.
The naming inspiration for Ziren comes from the mythological variant "Siren", representing the transition from illusion to reality - technology is no longer just attractive, but a genuine promise that can be implemented. Ziren aims to become the true tool in the hands of mainstream developers.
