First open source product was released in March 2022 — the RISC Zero virtual machine (zkVM). The zkVM enables any program to run in a verifiable manner with no trusted authorities. RISC Zero is building a next generation scalable blockchain using zero-knowledge proof technology along with RISC-V zkVM. RISC implementation allows developers who are used to programming in Rust, Go, C++ and other standard programming languages to write on-chain decentralized applications that look and feel like more traditional web applications – unlocking the potential of Web3 for a much broader swath of the global developers.
