verified gas frontier

MODEXP now runs natively onchain 98.71% 0.00% 98.71% cheaper. How the score works Verified reduction from the native baseline The headline compares the current promoted gas record with the bundled reference ( 860,100,123 gas ) : (baseline − current) / baseline × 100 . The same submitted bytes must pass clean and dirty execution, and Comparator must accept Correct bytecode .

Accelerate Ethereum on Yukon. EF is one of the most tech forward teams whose prescient bets brought ZK to reality at a time when it seemed like a pipe dream. Vitalik, Justin Drake and the ef teams are leaning very hard on AI + formal verification to accelerate Ethereum.
