ChainCatcher news, RISC Zero has officially launched zkVM 1.2, introducing a new 'Application-defined Precompiles' feature. This innovation changes the architecture of traditional precompiled modules, allowing precompiled functions to be deployed with applications without relying on the fixed implementation inside zkVM, improving performance and flexibility. Traditional precompiled modules usually require complex system-wide coordination between developers, provers, and verifiers, while zkVM 1.2 eliminates this bottleneck. Developers can now immediately integrate precompiled functionality into their applications without the need for system updates or additional coordination, thereby achieving a faster and more efficient development experience. It is reported that Automata has integrated RISC Zero.
