According to Foresight News, Lita, a zero-knowledge application, has launched the Valida zkVM and Valida C compiler toolchain. This development aims to facilitate faster, cheaper, and more efficient generation of Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP). The team behind Lita explained that Valida's compatibility with LLVM opens the door for many traditional programming languages, assisting developers in making a smooth transition.

Benchmark tests of Lita's performance capabilities for Valida indicate that the speed of single-core Valida proofs is 1.19 to 54 times faster than multi-core RISC zero proofs. The efficiency is also significantly higher, ranging from 19 to 1600 times, reducing the CPU time and energy consumed in proof computation.
