ZkSync launches new STARK-based proof system with a focus on mass usability

The most recent proof system, Boojum, introduced by zkSync Era, offers a higher throughput compared to the current rate of 100 transactions per second (TPS) and provides cost reductions in the long run. Boojum is a Scalable Transparent Argument of Knowledge (STARK)-based proof system that operates on consumer-grade general processing units (GPUs).



ZkSync Era is among a small number of Ethereum scaling solutions that employ zero-knowledge rollups (ZK-rollups) to enhance capacity, speed, and lower fees. These ZK-rollups primarily rely on two popular proof systems: zk-STARKs and Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge (zk-SNARKs).



Boojum, the new proof system, builds upon a Rust-based cryptographic library developed by zkSync. It incorporates an upgraded version of arithmetic circuits for zkSync Era and its ZK
