Gluchowski: zkEVM separates program logic from heavy operations via recursion

“So the trick that we used in ZKVM to make the EVM compatible ZKROLA possible Was to separate the tiny RAM circuit, which is responsible only for the program logic from the circuits, which are optimized for doing heavy operations, which are not generic. They're…”

Gluchowski: Blockchain Scaling Relies on Succinctness, Not Zero-Knowledge Privacy

“It was about zero knowledge aspect of zero knowledge probes, which we actually paradoxically do not use in scalability.”

Gluchowski: Recursive ZK proof verification became affordable on Ethereum in 2020

“And recursion is something that became available and became affordable on Ethereum just last year. Before that, it was very expensive. We had different proof systems that supported recursion, but they were way too expensive to be used on Ethereum.”
