Category Labs Cuts ZK Proof Time for Ethereum Blocks by 17%

  • —Median proof generation took 13 seconds per block on an Nvidia RTX 5090
  • —An AI agent produced over 300 code optimizations, cutting costs by 57%
  • —On 200 blocks, compute costs were 26% below the ziskethone reference
  • —The client is not finished and results are preliminary
Why it matters: ZK proofs of block execution could ease Ethereum verification load and speed up Ethproofs adoption.
