Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
Ziren is a zero-knowledge virtual machine that proves correct execution of programs compiled to a MIPS instruction set, emitting a succinct proof a verifier can check without re-running the program. Targeting a general instruction set rather than a bespoke circuit lets existing software be proved with little modification, and the resulting proofs can be checked on-chain or by any client.
