About:
Snarkify co-founder Niall Emmart, will given an overview of our winning solution in the recently concluded 2023 ZPrize 1B competition, end-to-end proving of a Merkle on the GPU. Our solution was 900x faster than the rust code on the host. We achieved an end-to-end proof time of 0.55 seconds. In the talk, we will discuss our solution, and review some interesting algorithms that gave us an edge over the competition.
