Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Too early to adopt

Why
Strong research momentum and impressive single-machine throughput, but explicitly alpha, unaudited, and not production-ready — disqualifying for any pv use under Rules #2/#7/#8.
Next
Bookmark and re-check after Jolt exits alpha and completes an audit; revisit only if pv needs a CPU-friendly general zkVM for verifiable computation.
