Ethereum's co-founder says the zkEVM speed race is won and wants the industry to focus on security next ZKsync ’s ZK token rose 6.2% after Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin publicly praised Airbender Prime, the project’s new Ethereum prover. ZKsync unveiled Airbender Prime on October 13, 2026. The pitch is real-time Ethereum proving without a rack of specialized hardware. A prover is the machine that produces cryptographic receipts showing that a batch of transactions was processed correctly. Anyone can check those receipts quickly without redoing the original work. In ZKsync’s test run, Airbender Prime proved 99% of 7,200 consecutive Ethereum mainnet blocks in under 10 seconds each. Every single block in that stretch was proven in under 12 seconds.
