We're finally releasing Jolt Alpha – the world's fastest zkVM.

Jolt is fully open source. Always has been and always will be.

zkVMs are the closest I've seen to algorithmic magic and I believe they'll allow us to deliver on the promises of web3.

Did my time in big tech, since recovered.

cool! Is this something that an optimistic rollup could implement to become a zk rollup? or will you build your own chain

Awesome - will be watching what Jolt evolves into!

We wont be building a chain but theoretically someone could.

Optimistic rollups could definitely use Jolt (or other zkVMs) as a strategy for efficient and auditable fault proofs, or to convert fully to a zk rollup.

I'm personally pretty excited about non-blockspace applications as well such as light clients.
