Description
Erigon provides ZK infrastructure designed for enterprises, particularly banks and financial institutions, that need to keep transaction data private while still proving correctness and compliance publicly. Their permissioned, EVM-compatible ZK chain runs on a client's private infrastructure while anchoring state transitions to Ethereum via Zilkworm validity proofs, offering private execution, public verification via Ethereum L1, and compliance-grade controls such as role-based permissions, SSO/IAM integration, and built-in AML/KYC support. Zilkworm, their proof engine, is a standalone C++23 codebase built for RISC-V prover architecture, generating validity proofs for Ethereum blocks at production speed and enabling validator scaling by replacing heavy re-execution with instant cryptographic verification. The company has a track record working with organizations such as the Ethereum Foundation, Gnosis, Polygon, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, StarkWare, Gateway.fm, Shutter Network, QuickNode, and Fastnode, and primarily serves enterprise clients such as banks and financial institutions seeking settlement infrastructure with cryptographic, rather than institutional, trust guarantees.Grant Funding
