A16z Crypto criticizes the misuse of the term "ZK" in many zkVM setups, pointing out that they often prioritize simplicity over true zero-knowledge privacy, which requires expensive encodings. The company's open-source zkVM Jolt has been upgraded to natively support zero-knowledge proofs using the NovaBlindFold scheme, which for real privacy applications will only add about 3 KB to the proof size.
