This provides a benchmark for proving times of different zkVMs
It's important to note most provers have three proofs that gets further
base_proofs -> recursive_stark_proof -> snark_proof
Each phase adds more proving times and reduces proof size. The final step is only needed to verify directly in Ethereum.
SP1 is benched with recursive_stark and snark proof. Pico is always using the snark proof.
Aligned supports verification of proofs of any stage, so you can use the faster one you see
- risc0
- sp1
- pico
- Docker (For SP1 groth16 compression)
To run the benchmark, first do a run with small programs to see if everything is working:
TEST_MODE=1 bash benchmark.sh
If you are benching Groth16 in SP1, try proving a small program manually to double check it's fine. First run will also download SP1 docker image for groth16 compression, so the values for that bench may be off on this first run.
make build_sp1
PROOF_MODE=groth16 N=5 make fibo_sp1
After making sure it work, you can run:
bash benchmark.sh
