Zero-knowledge technology firm =nil; Foundation introduces new zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine compiler
Zero-knowledge technology company =nil; Foundation has developed a novel type-1 zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM) compiler to address security concerns associated with similar ZK-powered Ethereum scaling solutions. According to =nil; Foundation CEO and co-founder Misha Komarov, the primary focus of this technology is security, enabling automatic compilation of high-level programming code into Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge (zk-SNARKS) circuits.
Enhanced compatibility with evmone
The zkEVM created by =nil; Foundation is designed to be compatible with evmone, which is a C++ version of Ethereum’s base execution environment. This means that the code of applications can be processed and consolidated as proofs submitted to Ethereum in the same format as its EVM.
Hot Take: The Future of Secure Scaling for Ethereum
In an effort to enhance security in Ethereum scaling solutions, =nil; Foundation has introduced the zkEVM compiler. By automating the compilation of high-level programming code into zk-SNARKS circuits, this technology prioritizes security and addresses existing concerns. With its compatibility with evmone, this solution offers a seamless integration into Ethereum’s ecosystem. As the industry continues to explore innovative ways to scale Ethereum securely, the zkEVM compiler represents a significant step forward in achieving this goal.
