According to PANews, the Telos Foundation has announced the launch of Plonky2 Goldibear, a new advancement in cryptographic proof generation and aggregation. This latest system offers significant performance improvements, particularly in the recursive proof composition within the BabyBear domain.
Plonky2 Goldibear is the newest iteration of the Plonky2 prover, supporting proof generation in both the Goldilocks and BabyBear domains. Alongside this launch, the project has developed a new version of Risclonky2, which now operates directly in the BabyBear domain without the need for arithmetic operation simulation. This development has made the verification and aggregation of Risc0 proofs highly efficient. Benchmark results indicate that Plonky2 Goldibear is 77 times faster than Risc0 in proof aggregation on a CPU for the BabyBear domain and 8.5 times faster even when compared to Risc0's GPU prover.
The Telos Foundation is also working on hardware acceleration for Plonky2 Goldibear and aims to implement the Polygon Hermez zkEVM proof verifier. This will enable rapid aggregation of Polygon zkEVM rollup proofs.#TelosFoundation #Plonky2 #Goldibear #CryptographicProofs #ProofGeneration #PerformanceImprovements #RecursiveProofComposition #BabyBear #Risclonky2 #Risc0 #ProofAggregation #HardwareAcceleration #PolygonHermez #zkEVM #RollupProofs

According to PANews, the Ethereum Foundation is intensively focusing on zero-knowledge proof (ZK) technology, aiming to implement it across various protocol stack levels. The initial deployment will involve the Layer 1 zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM). The foundation suggests that the fastest and safest way to achieve this within a year is by allowing validators to optionally run new clients, enabling stateless verification of multiple proofs generated by different zkVMs. These proofs are designed to be quickly verified, compact in size, and feasible for download and verification, with the capability to adopt deep defense strategies for zkVMs. The implementation can begin with off-chain verification, provided the protocol offers a pipeline mechanism in Glamsterdam.
Initially, a limited number of validators are expected to operate zero-knowledge clients, with the foundation allocating resources to gradually increase adoption. As more stakeholders opt to run these clients, the gas limit can be raised, allowing validators to verify proofs, which can also be utilized for zk-rollups. This initiative aims to mobilize the entire zkVM industry. To ensure Layer 1 security, the foundation has proposed a real-time proof standardization definition: 99% of mainnet blocks should be completed within 10 seconds, with hardware costs not exceeding $100,000, power consumption capped at 10kW, proof size limited to 300KiB, and security at least 128 bits. The "real-time proof" concept is intended to facilitate "home proofs," enabling independent stakers running validators at home to participate in proof generation.#Ethereum #ZeroKnowledgeProof #zkEVM #Layer1 #Blockchain #Security #Validators #Decentralization #ProofGeneration #zkRollups #Cryptocurrency #ETH
