Description
Fabric is a deep tech company advancing cryptography through hardware acceleration. Their core product is the Verifiable Processing Unit (VPU), a custom-designed chip that combines the performance of ASICs with the flexibility of GPUs to accelerate cryptographic workloads like Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) and Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE). The VPU features a RISC-V multi-core processor to eliminate performance bottlenecks. Fabric provides a complete software stack, including an LLVM-based compiler and libraries supporting major algorithms (plonky2, plonky3, halo2, TFHE), making it easier for developers to build privacy-preserving applications. The company collaborates with key industry players such as Polygon Labs, RISC Zero, and Zama to co-design solutions and enhance technologies like the AggLayer and RISC-V zkVM. They also offer a cloud platform to democratize access to their advanced hardware.Grant Funding
