Airbender Tops zkVM Leaderboard with Sub-50 Second Ethereum Block Proving
**Airbender has claimed the #1 spot** on the EthProofs leaderboard as the fastest zkVM, proving Ethereum blocks in under 50 seconds using just a single GPU. Key achievements: - Proves ZKsync chain blocks in ~1 second - Ethereum block proving in <50 seconds on single 4090 GPU - Built from scratch using RISC-V architecture This represents a **major breakthrough in ZK technology**. What previously required hours of computation now takes seconds, enabling near real-time proving. The timing aligns with Vitalik's suggestion that Ethereum may transition to RISC-V, validating ZKsync's decision to build their zkVM on this architecture two years ago. **Real-time ZK proving** extends blockchain verifiability and supports building incorruptible financial infrastructure. The technology makes home-proving Ethereum feasible with consumer hardware.
