Road to ZK Implementation: Nethermind Client's Path to Proofs
TL;DR: Nethermind is systematically adding ZK readiness to its execution client. Completed so far: execution witness capture, stateless block replay, minimal EVM binary creation, and RISC-V64 compilation. Much of the heavy lifting is done. The next milestones are Zisk integration for end-to-end proofs, followed by RISC0 and SP1 support. Nethermind builds on its proven reliability in production, now extending that foundation into zero-knowledge systems step by step. Why ZK Matters
