ZK Co-processor: The Key Technology for Large-scale Applications in Web3

In the field of computers, a coprocessor is a processing unit responsible for handling complex tasks for the CPU. From Apple's M7 motion coprocessor to Nvidia's GPU, coprocessors accelerate applications by offloading specific computational tasks.

Why is ZK called End Game?

Ethereum faces two major challenges: high gas fees limit the range of applications, and smart contracts can only access a limited amount of historical data. These issues severely restrict the development and large-scale adoption of complex applications.

Why is ZK called the End Game?

ZK co-processors can solve these problems. As an auxiliary processing unit of Ethereum, it can handle compute-intensive and data-intensive tasks while utilizing ZK technology to ensure the credibility of off-chain computations.

Why is ZK called End Game?

The application range of ZK co-processors is extensive, including social networking, gaming, DeFi, risk control systems, oracles, data storage, and large language models. Theoretically, any Web2 application can be implemented on the blockchain through ZK co-processors.

Why is ZK called the End Game?

The main ZK co-processor projects currently include:

  1. Risc Zero's Bonsai: A general zkVM based on the RISC-V architecture, supporting multiple programming languages.

  2. Lagrange: Build co-processors and verifiable databases to support trustless application development for on-chain historical data.

  3. Succinct: Integrate programmable facts into various aspects of blockchain development.

Why is ZK considered the End Game?

These projects converge on the technical path, all adopting the encapsulation of STARK to SNARK, supporting recursive proofs, and constructing prover networks. Currently, competition among the projects is more reflected in ecological resources and market expansion.

Why is ZK called the End Game?

Unlike Layer 2, ZK co-processors are application-oriented rather than user-oriented. They can serve as off-chain VM components for Layer 2, or as off-chain computing units, cross-chain data oracles, and cross-chain bridges for public chain applications.

Why is ZK called the End Game?

The main challenges facing ZK co-processors include high development thresholds, being in the very early stages of the track, and immature hardware support. However, in the long run, ZK co-processors are expected to reconstruct the middleware ecosystem of blockchain, providing key support for large-scale applications in Web3.
