Vitalik Buterin Unveils Details of New ZKP Model Binius

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin discussed the advantages of Binius, a new zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) system. The primary aim of this technology is to deliver a significant performance boost compared to traditional models like zk-SNARK. According to Buterin, Binius achieves greater efficiency by performing computations directly on individual binary bits—zeros and ones. In contrast, SNARK and […]
