METHODOLOGY
Our ZK Tuning Process
A systematic, four-phase approach to optimize Move-based ZK applications for production-grade performance, security, and cost-efficiency.
01
Performance & Bottleneck Analysis
We conduct a deep technical audit of your existing Move modules and ZK circuits to identify computational bottlenecks, memory inefficiencies, and high gas-cost operations. This establishes a quantifiable performance baseline.

Circuit & Constraint Optimization
Our engineers refactor ZK circuits using advanced proving systems (Plonky2, Halo2) and Move-specific techniques. We reduce constraint complexity and optimize for parallel proving to slash verification time and cost.
