LayerZero (@LayerZero_Core): Jolt Pro is a 100x improvement over existing zkVMs.

Jolt Pro is a 100x improvement over existing zkVMs. After months of researching all existing zkVMs, we realized none of them could scale to what we needed with Zero. Then we came across @succinctJT's work and Jolt, a research project from @a16zcrypto. We saw massive potential in the math and, finally, a viable way to scale to our needs. So we secretly assembled a team of some of the brightest minds across cryptography, GPU programming, and ASIC design to build an internal Jolt Pro team. Jolt Pro has no precompiles; it runs only RISC-V instructions, without introducing new ad hoc, error-prone constraints. It's impossible to compare against other zkVMs because they are not proving straight RISC-V, most of their work and speed gains exist in dangerous pre-compiles. Jolt Pro scales to infinity. The number of cells you can use in parallel is only limited by the size of the datacenter. Jolt Pro has a path to 4GHz cells using the same configuration we use for our 1.61 GHz cell today. By early 2027, it will be post-quantum and set the standard for all zkVMs. We will eventually make "zero-proofs", and others can try to beat our RISC-V proving in the open. For now, we stay heads down, building Zero to be everything the industry ever wanted. And then just a little more.
