Ethereum Scaling Company Develops New Zero-Knowledge Proof Compiler

According to Foresight News, Ethereum scaling company =nil; Foundation has developed a new Ethereum zero-knowledge proof compiler and released its prototype codebase and specifications today. The technology aims to address security issues found in similar ZK-driven Ethereum expansion solutions. CEO and co-founder of =nil; Foundation, Misha Komarov, stated that the technology prioritizes security and allows for the automatic compilation of high-level programming code into zero-knowledge succinct non-interactive arguments of knowledge (zk-SNARKS) circuits. zkEVM is designed to be compatible with evmone, a C++ version of Ethereum's basic execution environment, where application code is processed and aggregated into proofs submitted to Ethereum in a format identical to its EVM.
