zkVM RISC-V

Definition

A zkVM RISC-V refers to a Zero-Knowledge Virtual Machine (zkVM) that implements the RISC-V instruction set architecture, allowing for the execution of programs with verifiable computation integrity. This technology enables developers to run complex computations off-chain and then generate a compact cryptographic proof that verifies the correctness of the execution. It combines the flexibility of a general-purpose CPU architecture with the security and scalability benefits of zero-knowledge proofs. This pairing offers a powerful platform for decentralized applications.
