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 🔥

🍁 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.

🎬 Quick demo: ICICLE-Snark running on both CPU and GPU

(It's the fastest Groth16 prover on earth)

📱 Mobile support coming soon (talk to us about mobile proving!)
