Matter Labs based on the RISC-V new Zero-Knowledge Proof device "Airbender"

On June 25th, PANews reported that ZKsync company Matter Labs unveiled a new type of Zero-Knowledge Proof device ‘Airbender’ at the Permissionless conference. The prover is built on the RISC-V architecture and can complete ETH Block verification in 35 seconds in a single GPU environment, significantly faster than similar products. The CEO of Matter Labs stated that this breakthrough will reduce Transaction Cost to less than 1 cent, suitable for high-frequency trading, small payments, and Decentralization social scenarios. Currently, Airbender is in its early stages of release, but Matter Labs has already deployed an application for testing. If everything progresses as planned and the ZKsync governance process is approved, Airbender will be included in the protocol upgrade by the end of this summer.
