Vitalik Buterin noted that Succinct Labs’ real-time proving milestone showed fast average-case performance but did not yet address the critical worst-case scenarios needed for secure Layer 1 use
Vitalik Buterin emphasized the high energy consumption of approximately 100 kW required by the current real‑time prover, highlighting the necessity for more accessible, lower‑power solutions around 10 kW
Ethereum co‑founder Vitalik Buterin praised recent advancements in zero‑knowledge (ZK) technology, specifically the real‑time Ethereum proving achieved by Succinct Labs’ SP1 Hypercube
Vitalik Buterin, while praising the Succinct team’s progress, also pointed out key limitations blocking immediate integration of the new proving system into Ethereum’s Layer 1
Vitalik Buterin stated that the Ethereum team hopes to increase the Layer 1 gas limit by 10 to 100 times in order to support real-time proving and enable broader scaling at the base protocol level
Vitalik Buterin warned that SP1 Hypercube has not undergone formal verification, leaving it vulnerable to potential errors such as accepting invalid blocks
