Sobre ZKWASM

ZKWASM is an innovative blockchain infrastructure project that integrates zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP) with WebAssembly (WASM) to deliver scalable, privacy-preserving, and high-performance computations on-chain.

Open-sourced in 2023 as the first ZKWASM VM—pioneering the integration of zero-knowledge proofs with WebAssembly in a virtual machine—ZKWASM has evolved through years of research and community engagement, with backing from Binance Labs and OKX Ventures. Its journey is marked by key milestones: an invited talk at the 5th ZKProof Workshop (2022, Israel) on “ZK-WASM: A ZK Virtual Machine that Supports WebAssembly”; presentations at ZK Summit 9 (2023, Lisbon) on Web3 game development and ZK Summit 12 (2024, Lisbon) on performance optimization in KZG-backed Plonkish systems; and practical applications showcased at ETHDenver 2024 and Taipei Blockchain Week 2024, focusing on Ethereum rollups and on-chain game development. A 2024 [IEEE paper]( further validates ZKWASM’s technical advancements. These efforts highlight ZKWASM’s growth from a foundational ZKVM concept to a production-ready infrastructure, empowering developers to build decentralized applications (dApps) across DeFi, gaming, identity, and more, while bridging Web2 and Web3.

Delphinus Lab, the core contributor to ZKWASM, is building a chain-agnostic ZKWASM rollup infrastructure with support for Rust SDK, Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS), and decentralized AI inference. The live developer ecosystem includes 6 active applications and over 60,000 daily active users (DAU).
