According to Foresight News, zero-knowledge proof software developer RISC Zero recently released its latest version of the zero-knowledge virtual machine (zkVM) R0VM 2.0, which is now open for experience. It provides two service modes: a centralized Private Prover and a decentralized Boundless protocol, helping developers build high-performance ZK applications. R0VM 2.0 dramatically reduced the proof time for a single Ethereum block from 35 minutes to 44 seconds and lowered the proof cost of the OP chain by 5 times, with the cost per transaction potentially as low as $0.0012, thereby improving performance and efficiency.
Additionally, R0VM 2.0 introduced 3GB of user memory and comprehensive pre-compilation support, enabling more complex application scenarios such as large-scale EVM proof and verifiable media. RISC Zero plans to achieve real-time proof within 12 seconds by July 2025, further promoting the application and development of zero-knowledge technology.
