Category Labs has adapted its Monad execution client to generate zero-knowledge proofs for Ethereum blocks, achieving a median proof time of 13 seconds per block on a single Nvidia RTX 5090 GPU. This performance is 17% faster than the comparison program ziskethone, though it still falls short of the Ethereum Foundation's target of 10 seconds or less for 99% of mainnet blocks. The tests are preliminary, involving only 30 blocks and a partial client, with ongoing work to fully integrate Monad into Ethereum's Ethproofs system. This development is important as it supports Ethereum's move toward proof-based block validation, which could improve network efficiency and security by allowing validators to verify cryptographic proofs instead of re-executing every transaction.
Category Labs' Monad client testing Ethereum proof times provides context for crypto market activity.
