ZK-EVM Performance

Definition

ZK-EVM performance refers to the efficiency and speed of a Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine, a cryptographic construct that allows for verifiable computation of Ethereum transactions with privacy and scalability. This performance is measured by factors such as proof generation time, verification time, and gas cost. Optimizing ZK-EVM performance is crucial for achieving high transaction throughput on Ethereum-compatible networks. It is a key metric for layer-2 scaling solutions.
