Brevis introduces Pico: A Modular and Performant zkVM

It outperforms RISC0, SP1, and OpenVM by 70%–150% on CPU, offers flexible proving backends, and customizable proving workflows.

The Succinct Prover Network Testnet is live

This is a protocol on Ethereum that coordinates a decentralized network of provers to increase the world’s proving capacity.

Ingonyama announces AIR-ICICLE—Plonky3 on ICICLE

This integration enables users to write AIR circuits in the Plonky3 AIR language and easily interface with ICICLE APIs.

Fermah can now generate proofs for a16zcrypto's zkVM, Jolt

Fermah manages the entire proof generation workflow, including optimizing hardware configurations and maximizing resource efficiency.
