Performance Improvement - CUDA 13.0 compatibility fix for Fiat-Shamir [1] - Shared memory optimization achieves 1 TB/s bandwidth [1] - Achieved 9,000 zk proofs/sec on m31ext3 [1] - GPU acceleration for MSM on KZG commitments [1]

RT Marc, the Degen CEO of Polygon Labs (💜,⚔️, ※) (@0xMarcB)it is great to see Vitalik focusing on the user experience of L2s. it is clearly a better user experience to be able to to withdraw assets from a chain in under an hour rather than days. the key to making this happen is using zk proofs. this is one of the architectural decisions made on @katana that makes it better for defi than any other L2 since there is no need to wait days to withdraw assets.this is all made possible because of the plonky3 proof ...

Layer 2 (L2) Technology & Competition - Ethereum ecosystem is pivoting towards Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proofs, making it a present necessity for L2 solutions [1] - Major L2 solutions will require ZK proofs to remain competitive [1] - ZK technology enables faster withdrawals, addressing the issue of long waiting times [1] Cross-Chain Transfers & Bridges - Aggregated cross-L2 transfers through L1 are being developed [1] - Native cross-chain transfers through L1 in 12 seconds could eliminate the need for centralized bridges [2] Key Players - Projects like Boundless, Polygon, and Starknet are well-positioned due to their focus on ZK technology [2]
