I wish more ZK and FHE people would give their overhead as a ratio (time to compute in-cryptography vs time to compute raw), rather than just saying "we can do N ops per second"It's more hardware-independent, and it gives a very informative number: how much efficiency am I sacrificing by making my app cryptographic instead of trust-dependent?It's also often better for estimation because as a developer I *already know* how much time my computation takes to compute raw, so I can just multiply.(Yes, I know thi ...

RT Justin Drake (@drakefjustin)Progress toward real-time proving for Ethereum L1 is nothing short of extraordinary.In May, SP1 Hypercube proved 94% of L1 blocks in under 12 seconds using 160 RTX 4090s. Five months later Pico Prism proves 99.9% of the same blocks in under 12 seconds, with just 64 RTX 5090s. Average proving latency is now 6.9 seconds.Performance has outpaced Moore's law ever since Zcash pioneered practical SNARKs a decade ago. Today's Pico Prism results are a striking reminder of that exponen ...
