ZKsync has introduced Airbender, a new zero-knowledge transaction verification solution that promises increased efficiency and reduced costs on the Ethereum network.
Utilizing RISC-V for Speedy Ethereum Proving
Airbender leverages RISC-V architecture, allowing for significant acceleration of proof generation. This solution is developed by Matter Labs, promising lower costs for transaction confirmations.
Reduced Transaction Costs on Ethereum
Ethereum now features transaction fees at the level of fractions of a cent thanks to the new Airbender technology. This enhancement aims to make the platform attractive for high-frequency trading and micropayments.
Airbender's Advantages Over RiscZero
Airbender surpasses the speed of other zkVMs like RiscZero by 10 times, indicating significant performance improvements and opportunities for increased DeFi activity on Ethereum.
With the launch of Airbender, ZKsync strengthens its position in the Ethereum market, providing users with faster and more cost-effective transaction opportunities, which may facilitate the growth of decentralized applications.
