Polyhedra Network, a cross-chain solution provider for L2s and L1s with zkBridge technology, has made an exclusive development. The platform announced that it recently released its exclusive ZK-proof mechanism Expander, which it launched almost six days ago. The company announced this news on its official account on X.
🎉 Today we are proud to open the source #Expander, the world’s fastest #ZK-proof system.
Expander is a GKR prover designed for scaling large-scale parallel computing.

Polyhedra Open Source its ZK-proof mechanism ‘Expander’
The platform noted in one of its posts that Expander operates as a GKR prover. According to Polyhedra, the project focuses on scaling large-scale parallel computing through its design. As a result of this possibility, anyone can use the unique open source prover. The company added that its GKR prover focuses heavily on speed.
In addition, Expander natively supports AVX and ARM Neon instruction sets. With that in mind, consumers can select them according to their CPU specifications. It revealed that the project can prove almost 4500 keccak hashes per second in the case of an M3 Max CPU. On the other hand, regarding the x86 benchmark, it advised users to wait for further announcements.
It noted that the development in question will prove to be another revolutionary step. In addition, the company discussed the exclusive features of Expander. It added that the project is specifically aimed at developers who need ultimate speed regarding ZK technology and so on. Expander’s key technologies consider GKR-based prover. It operates for a constant period of time during processing.
The project has new functionalities to facilitate developers
Moreover, it also contains a polynomial commitment based on the expander code. While mentioning the key feature of Expander, Polyhedra claimed that it comes from the co-founders’ former work. They include Libra and Orion. The first provides concise zero-knowledge proofs using Optimal Prover Computation. The latter uses Zero Knowledge Proof by using Linear Prover Time.
As they continued, Polyhedra also provided an overview of the unique features the latest project offers. One of these functions is a lookup table. Expander also offers CUDA GPU acceleration as another notable feature. Furthermore, the initiative enables consumers to leverage MPI integration in the case of distributed computing. In addition, it also offers support for zkML and zkVM. Interested developers can contact the platform.
