ChainCatcher message, ZKM has released a new generation of zkVM (zk-SNARKs Virtual Machine) Ziren (formerly zkMIPS), which opens up new possibilities for the deployability and scalability of zero-knowledge (ZK) systems in real-world application scenarios through GPU acceleration, a distributed proof architecture, and a deeply optimized constraint system. Ziren achieves a 30-fold speedup in core proof generation, a 15-fold speedup in aggregated proofs, and reduces state preparation time from 5 minutes to 30 seconds, and has already been put into use in the GOAT Network's Bitcoin native zkRollup project.
The naming inspiration for Ziren comes from the mythological variant "Siren," representing the transition from illusion to reality — technology is no longer just alluring, but a genuine promise that is truly usable. Ziren aims to be a truly efficient, trustworthy, and deployable zk infrastructure in the hands of mainstream developers, supporting proof generation for Rust/C/C++ programs, compatible with the complete Ethereum Rust client verification, helping developers easily build reliable zero-knowledge systems.
