ToggleWhat is RISC Zero
RISC Zero is an open-source zkVM platform that helps developers build zero-knowledge (ZK) applications using popular programming languages like Rust, Go, C++ without having to relearn the entire ZK ecosystem from scratch.
RISC Zero's first open-source product - RISC Zero Virtual Machine (zkVM) was launched in March 2022. zkVM allows any program to be executed in a verifiable manner without requiring a trusted third party. This opens up the possibility of building decentralized, secure, and developer-friendly Web3 applications, similar to traditional Web2 applications.
Not stopping at zkVM, RISC Zero is building a new generation blockchain with high scalability, combining zero-knowledge proof technology with a virtual machine based on RISC-V architecture, providing a robust infrastructure for future decentralized applications.
On August 9, 2022, RISC Zero successfully raised $12 million in a Seed funding round led by Bain Capital Crypto. Participating investors included Cota Capital, D1 Ventures, Geometry, along with several prominent industry individuals like Meltem Demirors and Kain Warwick (founder of Synthetix).
Following this success, on July 19, 2023, RISC Zero completed a Series A funding round worth $40 million. This round was led by Blockchain Capital, with participation from major funds like Delphi Ventures, Galaxy, Fenbushi Capital, IOSG Ventures, Bain Capital Crypto, and many other crypto/web3 investment funds.
