Hardware Acceleration for Zero Knowledge Proofs a full ZK mining and proving industry will manifest, starting with hobbyists generating proofs in their CPUs, then GPUs, then FPGAs. ZKPs are slow and will require hardware acceleration to be made feasible over complex computations. We believe that the technology that will matter the most for ZK hardware acceleration is FPGAs and not GPUs (due to cost and energy efficiency) or ASICs (due to their inflexibility and long iteration cycles).
