ZK Computing Power Set to Accelerate Ethereums Growth

Ethereum layer 2 blockchain, Scroll, has partnered with Cysic Network to integrate zero-knowledge computing power into the blockchain to accelerate Ethereum scaling.
Scroll
, an emerging
Ethereum
(

) layer-2 blockchain, has paired up with
zero-knowledge proof
layer Cysic Network in order to make scaling Ethereum quicker and more efficient.
According to a press release received by crypto.news, Cysic already has two hardware products in the works, ZK Air and ZK Pro, which they plan to distribute in 2025.
Both products are designed to manage high volumes of transaction without compromising speed or security. Cysic states that it will prioritize “support for Scroll’s latest proving techniques on the hardware products.”

Co-Founder of Scroll, Sandy Peng, said that by integrating Cysic’s ZK Proof technology Scroll is able to offer the best infrastructure for developers and provide users with a fast and secure on-chain experience.
“By continuously seeking to enhance our technology across our entire stack, we have discovered Cysic strengthens our capabilities for having the highest throughput and fastest finality of all ZK rollups,” said Peng.
As the Ethereum layer 2 landscape continues to grow, the volume of transactions continues to increase, leading to congestion on the
Ethereum mainnet
. This can lead to bottlenecks, higher latency and increased costs that could hinder layer 2 blockchains from operating optimally in the wake of high traffic.
Therefore, Scroll has recognized the need for layer 2 networks to adopt scaling infrastructure capable of managing the rapid growth of traffic while maintaining its performance and reliability.
Co-founder of Cysic, Leo Fan, stated that ZK technology holds the key to meeting the needs of the ever-evolving blockchain ecosystem and driving the industry forward. He believes that Scroll’s partnership with Cysic can improve the speed and quality of Ethereum scaling in the blockchain.
“By reducing ZK proof generation from hours to minutes with our GPU servers, we’re not only accelerating Layer 2 scaling but also laying the groundwork for blockchain innovation,” said Fan.
Cysic is in the process of developing two ZK proof computing products set to release in 2025, ZK Air and ZK Pro. ZK Air is a portable solution that enables the acceleration of ZK proof generations in various environments. While ZK Pro is designed to resemble traditional mining rigs with a focus on enhancing ZK-proof generation for large-scale applications.
In Oct. 2023, Scroll
launched
its Ethereum mainnet, leveraging zero-knowledge proofs to significantly enhance Ethereum transactions. Scroll promised its users quicker transaction speeds and lower costs by integrating ZK proofs, a cryptographic method that alleviates bottlenecks.
