zkVM Architecture

Definition

zkVM architecture denotes the organizational design of a Zero-Knowledge Virtual Machine, a system enabling the execution of computational tasks and the creation of a cryptographic proof affirming correct computation without disclosing the inputs or the process itself. This structural framework is pivotal for attaining extensible and private verifiable computation on blockchain networks. It effectively unites advanced cryptographic proof systems with secure execution environments. This design enhances both privacy and verifiability.
