 | RISC ZeroRISC Zero is building a next generation scalable blockchain using zero-knowledge proof technology along with our RISC-V zkVM. The RISC Zero zkVM can prove the correct execution of arbitrary code, allowing developers to build ZK applications in mature languages like Rust and C++.

OpenWhat is RISC Zero
The release of the RISC Zero zkVM marked a major breakthrough in enabling ZK software development: the zkVM made it possible to build a ZK application without having to build a circuit and without writing in a custom language.
By allowing developers to build in Rust and leverage the maturity of the Rust ecosystem, the zkVM has made it possible for developers to quickly build meaningful ZK applications, with no background in advanced mathematics or cryptography.
We've built a number of applications and primitives showcasing these capabilities, including:
- Zeth: prove the correct construction of an entire Ethereum block or an entire Optimism block
- Bonsai Pay: send Ethereum to someone's gmail address
- JSON: prove the contents of some entry in a JSON file, while keeping the rest of the data private
- Where's Waldo: prove that Waldo appears in a JPG file, while keeping the rest of the image private
- ZK Checkmate: prove that you see a mate-in-one, without revealing the winning move
- ZK Proof of Exploit: prove that you could exploit an Ethereum account, without revealing the exploit
- ECDSA signature verification: prove the validity of an ECDSA signature
