Yang et al. conducted a systematization of knowledge on zkVMs in their paper, decomposing them into ISA, VM, and proving layers, and evaluated representative systems for performance, scalability, and usability. Yang等人在论文中对zkVM进行了系统化研究，将其分解为ISA、VM和证明三层，并评估了代表性系统的性能、可扩展性和可用性。
Notes
- zkVM is a key infrastructure for proving program execution correctness, widely used in blockchain rollups, privacy-preserving ML, and off-chain computation.
- Existing zkVMs have heterogeneous designs in instruction formats, trace layouts, and proving backends, making system relationships hard to understand.
- Proposes a three-layer decomposition: ISA layer for instruction semantics, VM layer for program execution, and proving layer for final proof generation.
- Conducted comprehensive experimental evaluation of representative zkVMs using this framework to analyze design impacts on performance, scalability, and usability.
- Summarized key observations and outlined potential directions for zkVM design and implementation.
- Bridges the gap between theory and practice, offering insights for standardization and optimization of zkVMs.
