🛣️Road to ZPrize 2023

ZPrize I Spotlight: Open Division Prize 7 (MSM on Mobile)

Zero-knowledge proofs on mobile devices have the power to revolutionize applications like private transactions, self-soverign identity, and scalable computation, making them a game-changer in the field. Multi-scalar multiplication (MSM) is a core operation for producing zkSNARKs, and it is the primary bottleneck and barrier for deployment of proving on mobile.

This prize focused on minimizing latency of computing MSM in native mobile applications, which is a large barrier to mass adoption. Competitors had to adapt their skills to a mobile platform with a unique CPU architecture and various resource limitations.

More about the importance of this challenge and the winning teams on the ZPrize blog.
