Jolt Pro GR
Zero-Knowledge Execution Engine
Jolt Pro GR is ring0's execution engine. It mathematically proves every transaction is correct using native 64-bit arithmetic with SIMD acceleration. No trusted setup. No ceremony. 127-bit security, formally verified.
what it does
What Jolt Pro GR Does
Jolt Pro GR executes transactions and generates a mathematical proof that the execution was correct. Validators can verify this proof in a fraction of the time it took to execute — without re-running anything. This is what makes ring0's heterogeneous architecture possible: producers do the heavy work, validators just check the proof.
performance
Performance Advantages
Traditional ZK systems waste significant compute on arithmetic emulation. Jolt Pro GR operates with native 64-bit instructions and achieves 5-7× additional speedup through SIMD vectorization. This structural advantage means ring0 can generate proofs faster than any system built on legacy arithmetic.
no trusted setup
No Trusted Setup
Many ZK systems require a “trusted setup ceremony” where secret parameters are generated and then destroyed. If anyone keeps a copy, they can forge proofs. ring0 requires no ceremony at all — the commitment scheme (BaseFold) is fully transparent. Security doesn’t depend on anyone discarding secret parameters.
risc v
Write in Any Language
Jolt Pro GR executes standard RISC-V programs. Developers write smart contracts in Rust, C, C++, or any language that compiles to RISC-V. No custom VM, no domain-specific language. ring0 handles proof generation automatically beneath the execution layer.
