• ZKsync launches the Airbender zkVM.

• Chainlink partners with Mastercard.

• OP Futarchy experiment results.

• Term goes live on Base.

ZKsync launched Airbender, a high-performance, general-purpose zero-knowledge (ZK) prover designed to advance decentralization, interoperability, and scalability. Airbender is the fastest open-source RISC-V zkVM, which delivers ~3-second proofs, outperforming proof systems like RiscZero and Succinct's SP1 Turbo. Airbender enables real-time settlement and cross-chain coordination, supports local proof generation on consumer hardware, and reduces proving costs to just $0.0001 per transfer. It integrates with ZKsync OS, a modular execution environment supporting EVM, WASM, and custom runtimes. Developers can now build verifiable apps on the Airbender beta.
