Zilkworm

A pluggable, fast, lightweight ZKEVM core written in C++

Pushing the Zero-Knowledge frontiers on EVM

Zilkworm-Turbo is now live on ethproofs and is 2x faster than competition in cycle count

Zilkworm uses native C++ optimization on EVMOne core enabling end to end block-validation proofs

// Create block proofs in one command
z6m_prover prove --block-number 23456789 --out proof.json
z6m_prover verify proof.json

Scale well

Zilkworm is aligned with Ethereum's vision of Gigagas L1 blocks powered by STARK proofs

Privacy first

Powering enterprise EVM chains with robust core modules and multi-backend proofs

Performance focussed

Aggressive tuning for different prover backend ISAs like RISC-V with C++ known practices
