The simplicity actually collaborates with Ant Group's research institution @AntChainOpenLab. I can't be mistaken, this is the Ant Group from Hangzhou. Dreams are coming true!

Collaboration Background:
Both parties are using FPGA (a type of programmable hardware) to accelerate SP1 - Succinct's core product, a zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) virtual machine.

This performance improvement is significant and represents a major breakthrough in the ZKP field, especially in hardware acceleration.

Technical Highlights:
Jointly developed the Zetta architecture based on AMD Alveo U55C FPGA, greatly optimizing key operations of SP1, such as data verification and computation speed. Performance has increased by 15-20 times compared to traditional CPUs! This is akin to jumping from dial-up internet into the 5G era, meaning blockchain transactions will be faster and more secure.

Potential Impact:
Do you remember when @wormhole announced in 2024 that it would use AMD FPGA to accelerate cross-chain messaging ZKP? The industry is already advancing towards ASIC designs with a 10-20 times performance improvement.

This is precisely the goal of @SuccinctLabs, and this collaboration with Ant Chain is a breakthrough realization of that vision!

ZKP acceleration will drive an efficiency revolution in scenarios such as cross-chain bridges, Rollups, and financial privacy, further reducing costs and enhancing application implementation.

More importantly, it may attract more teams to participate in ZKP hardware acceleration development, creating a positive technological cycle and promoting ecological prosperity!

Of course, there are still challenges such as cost and stability in the future, but this collaboration lays a solid foundation for ASICs and real-time proofs, making it very worthy of ongoing attention~

#SuccinctLabs truly deserves to be the NO.1 in the zero-knowledge track, incredibly strong!
