Still trying to wrap your head around zkVMs? Our security analyst Tyler just wrote an introduction piece. Check it out, it's worth your brain cells.
Zero-knowledge virtual machines (zkVMs) are changing how we build provable apps. They let devs write programs in familiar languagesāthen prove correctness without re-executing them. Tyler, our security analyst, wrote up a great explainer to kick off our zkVM Security Series š§µ

Didnāt expect Ethereum L1 to consider the same paradigm this early. That said, we've been talking to many zkVM teams recently about provable and continuous ZK securityā¦ the space is indeed heating up. 2/2.

Vitalik proposes replacing the EVM with RISC-V as Ethereumās long-term execution layer. Bold move! RISC-Vābased zkVMs have indeed reduced complexity and leapfrogged scaling efforts. 1/2

Security audits are great but provide a one-time guarantee. When the codebase evolves, you need to re-audit. Whatās the next level in ZK security? Mathematical proving & automated continuous verification without slowing development. Which is exactly what we did with @RiscZero.
RISC Zero is building the first formally verified RISC-V zkVM. Using @VeridiseInc's Picus tool, we're mathematically proving determinism in our circuits. Our goal: A zkVM thatās both incredibly fast and provably secure, so developers never have to compromise.
