ZKsync Token Gains After Vitalik Buterin's Praise
ZKsync's ZK token rose 6.2% after Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin publicly praised Airbender Prime, the project's new Ethereum prover. Airbender Prime is a real-time Ethereum proving system without specialized hardware, capable of quickly verifying Ethereum transactions. The project's hardware, a single NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPU, achieved impressive performance in its test runs. Buterin's comments emphasized the importance of formal verification and cost efficiency for the prover, aligning with ZKsync's broader goal of lowering hardware barriers to verification.
