What is SP1 ZKVM?

SP1 ZKVM is a zero-knowledge virtual machine (ZKVM) designed to process blockchain transactions more efficiently. Instead of executing every operation on-chain, SP1 enables computations to be verified using zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs).

This allows for:

✅ Faster transaction validation

✅ Reduced gas fees

✅ Enhanced privacy and security

By leveraging ZK proofs, SP1 ensures that transactions are provably correct without requiring every network participant to re-run the computations. This shift is a game-changer for blockchain scalability.
