And:
• Which requesters/provers drive volume?
• How concentrated is demand/supply? Are new players joining?
• Which programs (vk_hash) dominate?
Dive in & tell us what to add next.

More questions:
• What’s the predicted time to fulfill a 1B-gas request today?
• What’s the price per bGas and who’s price-leading vs the network median?
• How fast do provers respond (seconds to first bid)?
New @SuccinctLabs Prover Network dashboard (by @TheProofLab) helps you ask:
• Are requests getting fulfilled on time?
• How long do auctions take?
• When do throughput dips happen (and how long do they last)?

✨ ZK-Newsflash! ✨
The latest ZK and Ethereum highlights from July 17th to 23rd — presented by @mysterymeat:
✅ @ethereumfndn is hosting a Livestream to celebrate 10 years of @ethereum.
✅ @TheProofLab re-announced ZKarnage launching a live stress-test of ZK provers to uncover vulnerabilities.
✅ @TACEO_IO launched delegated private ZK proving with TACEO:Proof.
✅ @alignedlayer explained why @ethrex_client was chosen as the Rollup Stack for its RaaS platform and why supporting based rollups is a priority.

1/ 🧵 (re-)Announcing ZKarnage! 💥
With support from an @ethereumfndn grant and in collaboration with @eth_proofs, we're launching a live stress-test of ZK provers on mainnet.
We're about to find out how resilient these critical systems really are.
🚨 WANTED: MODEXP aka “Big Mod”
Ringleader of the Precompile Cartel.
🧮 215,389 avg cycles
💸 200 gas
🔥 1076.9 cycles/gas
💀 Known to leave zkEVM provers in shambles
Do not benchmark. Do not engage.
Just pray he's not in your circuit.
Reward: One limited Prover Killer hat🧢
The Prooflab intern is furiously packing hats to send out!!
Think your Solidity chops can kill provers?
@TheProofLab is stress-testing ZK systems with pathological EVM payloads—and we're giving out these exclusive PROVER KILLER hats for the best PRs.

🚨 Benchmark drama detected 🚨
Assembling zkML benchmarks for prooflab.dev!
Great to see the ecosystem grow but bad benchmarking is kind of tired and sloppy.
We went through your benchmarking code @lagrangedev and it looks like you’re artificially handicapping @ezklxyz proving times by fixing the number of rows in our circuits to a very large number.
🔍 NEW RFC ALERT: We just published evaluation criteria for zkVM benchmarks!
These criteria will power our upcoming zkVM reports and enable l2beat-style comparisons between different zkVMs.
Check it out and share your thoughts: github.com/ProofLabDev/proof…
So many people's first interaction with ZK is about to be zkFlappyBird thanks to @SuccinctLabs, this is such great brand positioning!
