ZKsync proves 99% of Ethereum blocks in 10 seconds on a single GPU

  • —Airbender Prime test covered 7,200 Ethereum blocks, 99% proved within 10 seconds
  • —The full block set was proved in 12 seconds on one GPU
  • —EIP-7904 analyzes CPU execution only and does not cover ZK proving costs
  • —Nethermind research proposes a separate ZK Gas limit per operation
Why it matters: Faster ZK proving moves Ethereum closer to verifiable blocks, but without a worst-case cost bound the economics of proving remain unpredictable.
