Succinct launches zkVM 'SP1 Hypercube', claiming to achieve real-time proof of Ethereum

According to The Block, zero knowledge proof startup Succinct has released a new generation of zkVM "SP1 Hypercube", claiming to be able to generate zero knowledge proofs for Ethereum blocks within 12 seconds. Test data shows that the system achieved 93% real-time proof of 10000 Ethereum mainnet blocks on 200 NVIDIA RTX 4090 GPU clusters, with an average time of 10.3 seconds. This technological breakthrough has triple significance for the Ethereum expansion roadmap: supporting ZK validators and executing client-side Layer 1 throughput extensions, enhancing native Rollup security, and achieving shared sorting and synchronous composability. Succinct has opened sourced the validator and Ethereum prover code, and it is expected that the optimized hardware cost can be controlled within $100000. The company announced on the same day that it will launch the ecological token PROVE, and its core development team Succinct Labs completed a $55 million Series A financing led by Paradigm last year.
