How We Started
RISC Zero was started in 2021 to tackle the biggest challenge to our industry, and potentially our society — increased centralization and consolidation of not just the applications we use but the infrastructure we use to build and manage them.
Our Purpose
RISC Zero is bringing general-purpose computing to the zero-knowledge ecosystem — enabling users to trust programs run anywhere while allowing developers to use the tools they already know and love.
What We Do
We're a diverse group of hackers, futurists, and nerds dedicated to making the internet the place we all deserve. We've already built the world's first zkVM capable of running arbitrary code as a zero-knowledge proof. We're now building an ecosystem on top of it. Join us.
