zkVMs: SP1 vs RISC0 head to head
Two zkVMs, two different engineering bets. We benchmark precompile coverage, continuation strategy, and the Rust-to-zk developer experience.
FROM THE BROADCAST
"Good evening. Tonight we cover zkvms: sp1 vs risc0. This is the kind of topic that sits right on the seam between research and production, and we're going to walk through the construction before looking at what it means for the chains that actually ship it."
"The short version is this: zkVMs treat the zero-knowledge prover as a compiler target instead of a circuit library. We'll spend the first half of the segment on the core mechanism, and the second half on what operators are actually deploying."
"Let's start with the basics. Write your logic in Rust, compile to RISC-V, prove the execution trace. SP1 from Succinct and RISC0 are the two most deployed examples. Keep that in mind as we go deeper."
