Space and Time launches open-source GPU accelerator for ZK proofs

Space and Time, a Microsoft-backed decentralized data warehouse, has released the open source version of Blitzer, a GPU accelerator framework powering proof of SQL.

On Thursday, Space and Time announced that Blitzer was now available to ZK protocols and developers. Open-sourcing the GPU accelerator framework offers the Web3 community a solution that’s “faster and more robust” for building GPU-accelerated zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs, the platform said.

As a hardware acceleration framework, Blitzer speeds up a ZK protocol’s performance, optimizing the way it runs. With the Proof of SQL, users can verify and prove that data from queries is accurate. Blitzer has helped Proof of SQL run “sub-second,” the platform added.
