From Succinct's $300,000 hardware monster to Zerobase's millisecond miracle, the next era of ZK proofs has arrived
I have been working in the ZK development field for three years, witnessing too many projects struggle in the strange loop of 'theory perfect, implementation difficult.' It wasn't until I recently had an in-depth experience with Zerobase's real-time proof network that I truly felt what 'the shock brought by technological breakthroughs' means.
To be honest, when I heard that a certain ZK project could generate proofs in milliseconds, my first reaction was skepticism. After all, I have seen the massive Succinct SP1 Hypercube— a cluster made up of 16 RTX 5090 GPUs, costing nearly $300,000, barely managing to compress the proof time of an Ethereum block to under 12 seconds. Although it is indeed impressive from a technical standpoint, for most developers and project parties, it is simply a fantasy.
