Today we're releasing OpenVM 2.0 Beta, which proves Ethereum mainnet blocks in a p99 time of 7.9s on 16 GPUs and hits 964 MHz RISC-V throughput on 64 GPUs, making it the fastest zkVM on @eth_proofs.
Here's what's new and what's next:
🌟 NEW ETHConf speaker announced:
@theyisun, Co-Founder of @axiom_xyz
Co-founded Axiom, the team behind @openvm_org. OpenVM is an open-source zkVM framework prioritizing modularity and extensibility across the ISA, toolchain, ZK circuits, and proof system.
June 8–10, NYC. 🗽
4/ OpenVM 2.0 Beta is available under MIT and Apache 2.0 dual-license in pre-production preview. It ships with a Halo2 wrapper which can be verified on any EVM for 316K gas. To try it out, go to:
* Preview docs: docs-preview.openvm.dev
* GitHub release: github.com/openvm-org/ope…
5/ As OpenVM 2.0 moves toward production, we're working with teams on ZK apps from synchronous composability to verifiable exchanges. If you'd like to bring verifiability or privacy to your app with ZK, get in touch: chat.axiom.xyz

At @EthCC 2026, we discussed how Ethereum is planning to scale with zero-knowledge proofs and how OpenVM 2.0, powered by the SWIRL proof system, is uniquely positioned to enable it.
Listen to the talk by our co-founder @theyisun here:
We are starting to roll out the Lighter EVM devnet to developers!
Join us for a Q&A on Friday with our founder, lead architect, and @theyisun from @axiom_xyz, our partners in building Lighter EVM.
Our Formal Verification team led by @PetarMax, with support from @ethereumfndn, has verified in Lean the correctness of the OpenVM RISC-V extension built by @axiom_xyz.
This work proves instruction-level correctness and, for the first time, execution and memory consistency.
🧵
We partnered with @Nethermind with support from @ethereumfndn to formally verify the functional correctness of the OpenVM RISC-V extension using @leanprover.
Alongside this, we are introducing provable 100-bit security on the Axiom Proving API with the new OpenVM 1.5.0 release.
4/ In conjunction with the verification, we're moving to provable security for OpenVM. OpenVM 1.5.0 featuring 100 bits of provable security is available today on the Axiom Proving API, and we will maintain this standard for OpenVM 2.0.
5/ We'll continue to invest in formal verification and provable security to offer the strongest security guarantees. If you’re interested:
