Improving Performance of Provable Computations Using Rust

Duration: 00:19:11

Speaker: Herman Obst, Federica Sofía Moletta

Type: Talk

Expertise: Intermediate

Event: Devcon

Date: Oct 2022

We reimplemented the Cairo VM in Rust to increase its performance. We will show an MVP that is between 10 and 100 times faster than the previous Python implementation. Executing a program with this VM outputs a trace which can later be used to generate a Proof of the program's execution. Combining Zero Knowledge Proofs with Rollups allow us to have scalability without compromising the security of blockchains.
