Zero: The Decentralized Multi-Core World Computer
Zero is a new L1 blockchain that uses heterogeneous architecture to separate block production from validation through ZK proofs, eliminating redundant transaction re-execution by validators. The project claims breakthrough performance via four core technologies like QMDB (3M state updates/sec) and Jolt Pro (100x faster ZK proving), and is targeting 2M TPS per "Atomicity Zone" with multiple zones running in parallel like CPU cores. Zero positions itself as an alternative to both fragmented L2 ecosystems and high-hardware-requirement monolithic chains, claiming the architecture could reduce network operating costs from Ethereum's ~$50M annually to under $1M.
