When ZEROBASE needed faster real-time ZK proof generation at scale, they turned to ICICLE. 🥶

ZEROBASE has deployed a suite of high-performance ZK apps across mobile, edge, and web.

With ICICLE, latency dropped across the board 🔥

Over the past year, we've worked with Cornami and seen exciting results on ZK primitives. In the blog we report 10x–100x speedup compared to NVIDIA GPUs.

Thanks to ICICLE’s modular backend design, we can easily plug in new compute and deliver speedups to users.
ICICLE just got a powerful new backend🧊

We’re partnering with Cornami to bring their FracTLcore compute fabric into the ICICLE cryptographic acceleration framework

The result is the ZPU, a new ICICLE-powered backend built to scale Zero-Knowledge Proof performance

🍁 Fresh from zkSummit 13 in Toronto:

Yuval Domb joined Ulrich Haböck from StarkWare to present:

Laurent STARKs

Laurent STARKs (formerly known as RC-STARKs) are the latest addition to the family of STARKs over the circle curve.

They operate over M31, and support standard FFT, IOP, and FRI.

How long does it take ICICLE to switch from CPU to GPU?

About as long as it takes to read this tweet.
