ZisK's Four-GPU Benchmark Could Reduce Centralization Risk in Ethereum Proving
ZisK's new four-GPU benchmark claim has lowered the headline hardware count in Ethereum's real-time proving race. The project, an open-source zero-knowledge virtual machine, reported a claimed 9.62-second p99 on four RTX 5090 GPUs.
Jordi Baylina amplified the result as a milestone combining four-GPU proving with claimed 128-bit security and post-quantum resistance. Ethereum's working standard calls for at least 99% of mainnet blocks to be proved within 10 seconds.
The new figure could bring proof generation closer to independent operators, provided the workload and operating conditions are comparable. However, ZisK has yet to publish the block range, sample size, p99 calculation, timing boundary, proof size, or measured whole-system power for the four-GPU run.
