A fast, modular, optimized ZKEVM core written in C++

[NOTE: THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS REPOSITORY THAT MAY LACK MAINTENANCE, AND IS PROVIDED AS IS. DO NOT USE IN PRODUCTION ]

Zilkworm is a prototype implementation of a ZKEVM building on past works within Silkworm and EVMOne to run on ZKVM provers with native support for RISC-V targets (e.g. rv32im). At the moment the ZKVM integrated is Succint's SP1 Turbo.

Testing

Native build

Make sure to install applicable tools (g++ 15.2.x, CMAKE, git, git-lfs) and ctest before running the tests:

make eest-blockchain-tests
