How do you actually know a zkVM isn't lying to you?
You don't trust. You prove.
CertiK just formally verified zkWasm using Coq—basically wrote mathematical proof that the circuits are sound and knowledge-sound. No assumptions. No trust me bro.
This work got accepted to ACM CCS 2026, one of the hardest security conferences to crack.
Why it matters: zkVMs are the backbone of scaling and privacy. If the proof system is broken, everything built on top collapses. Formal verification = you can actually sleep at night knowing your zkVM isn't a house of cards.
Rare W for security-first thinking in a space that ships fast and breaks things.
