SP1 HYPERCUBE – REAL-TIME ETHEREUM PROVING IS HERE

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

SP1 Hypercube is ZK's “man on the moon moment,” as it proves over 93% of Ethereum mainnet blocks in under the current block time of 12 seconds. It achieves 5x lower latency and cost compared to SP1 turbo using a novel zkVM optimized for multilinear polynomials. A real-time prover cluster requires roughly 160 Nvidia 4090 GPUs (~$300k), with potential to drop to ~$100k on cost-efficient hardware. By delivering sub-12s proofs, SP1 Hypercube paves the way for L1 scaling, native rollups, and improved interoperability.
