Only 3 of 16 benchmarked SNARKs and VMs are both ZK and PQ, and none are simultaneously audited, maintained, and configured to provide at least 100 bits of security. Right now, no entry in the benchmark combines everything we want for a privacy-preserving, future-proof Ethereum dApp. That combination is the “missing middle” in this post’s title. The measurements support two broad conclusions. First, multiple systems can already support practical client-side proving, so performance is no longer

Announcing the Ethproofs On-Prem Multi-GPU Prover Initiative: $65,000 in hardware grants for five teams to prove Ethereum L1 blocks on owned hardware — plus updated criteria for Real-Time Proving grant eligibility.

As Ethproofs enters its second year, we are making a deliberate first-step simplification to how hardware cost is represented across the platform.

Turning the page on the first year of Ethproofs with a look back at 2025 highlights and a look ahead to 2026 priorities.
