We’re thrilled to announce that @ZEROBASEzk has officially integrated @Ingo_zk ’s ICICLE into our application-layer ZK circuits.

As a pioneer in high-performance cryptographic computation, Ingonyama’s core product, ICICLE, is a multi-platform cryptographic library designed to accelerate zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs). With support for CPU, GPU, Apple Silicon, and their proprietary ZPU™, ICICLE empowers developers with unprecedented performance and flexibility.

In our recent collaboration, ZEROBASE and Ingonyama joined forces to embed ICICLE into our ZK applications—dramatically enhancing real-time processing and scalability. By optimizing Number Theoretic Transforms (NTT) and Multi-Scalar Multiplications (MSM), ICICLE enables faster and more efficient proof generation without compromising security.

Key advantages of ICICLE include:

🔸 NTT Optimization: Leveraging domain caching and fast rotation factors to reduce redundant computation and boost efficiency
🔸 MSM Optimization: Utilizing base caching and tunable Pippenger windows for large-scale performance improvements
🔸 Multi-Platform Support: Compatible with CPU, CUDA, and Metal backends, ensuring seamless deployment across various hardware
🔸 Multi-GPU Distribution: Enables parallel computing by distributing workloads across multiple GPUs

Our partnership with Ingonyama not only elevated our system performance but also provided invaluable engineering support throughout integration. The Ingonyama team’s technical guidance was critical in ensuring a smooth and impactful performance boost.

Looking ahead, we plan to further optimize GPU memory management, refine resource allocation, and extend GPU acceleration to additional cryptographic primitives—continuously pushing the boundaries of performance and scalability.

This collaboration strengthens our ZK capabilities and lays a solid foundation for future innovation. We look forward to deepening our partnership with Ingonyama to drive the evolution of cryptographic technology.
