Venus replaces a traditional hardware abstraction layer with a graph‑based view of the entire proving pipeline, enabling global compute optimization and better GPU utilization.Cysic reports over 9% end‑to‑end proof‑time gains versus ZisK 0.16.1 by cutting CPU‑GPU synchronization overhead rather than relying on new hardware.ZisK is already live on Ethproofs and cited in EIP‑8025 discussions, with the team claiming 7.4‑second Ethereum block proofs on 24 GPUs and real‑time proving on a single RTX 4090.
