ZAN 2025 Annual Highlights

Powering the Future: Ultra-Fast Node Synergy, ZK Compute Leap, and Full-Dimensional Contract Defense

In 2025, ZAN upgraded three core "superpowers" to the Web3 world:

  • Node Service: Stably supporting over 2 billion daily requests, with millisecond-level latency, providing industrial-grade infrastructure guarantees for high-frequency trading, real-time data, and large-scale applications, and building a solid operational foundation.
  • ZK Acceleration: With a disruptive acceleration ratio of 159X (vs 16-core CPU) and 3X (vs industry standard), driving an end-to-end ZKP performance leap through hardware-software co-optimization, efficiently empowering zkVM / proving systems, and setting a new benchmark for Web3 infrastructure.
  • Smart Contract Review: Integrating 50+ top-tier conference research achievements and 20+ patented technologies, providing zero-incident protection across the full lifecycle from development to deployment to upgrade for 100+ critical projects, and forging a security foundation for Web3's high-growth tracks.

Through these three capabilities, ZAN has continuously empowered hundreds of thousands of developers worldwide to build the future efficiently and securely. ZAN has achieved leadership in the Asia-Pacific in 2025 while serving users worldwide, becoming the preferred Web3 infrastructure partner for massive numbers of project teams to drive business growth.

Node Services Fully Upgraded and Evolved: Ultra-Fast, Secure, Cross-Chain Collaboration

  • The new-generation high-concurrency, low-latency architecture was officially live—request latency was reduced by 50%, and resource utilization improved by up to 2x.
  • Partnered with leading public chain Solana to expand footprint across the Asia-Pacific region—focusing on core areas such as high-performance RPC services, Validator hosting, and transaction acceleration, together driving Web3 innovation across the Asia-Pacific region! Solana developer community has grown to over 50K, spanning countries including Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, the United States, and Germany worldwide. Solana trading experience enhanced again—launching an integrated Solana trading boost + MEV protection solution, combined with low-latency communication protocols such as gRPC / ShredStream, ensuring users' trading is one step faster and worry-free in security, with daily accelerated transactions surpassing 10K. >> https://zan.top/home/solana

  • The multi-chain Validator collaboration ecosystem expanded strongly—reaching deep Validator collaborations with leading public chains such as Aptos and Avail to jointly build a decentralized, highly available underlying trust network.

  • The ecosystem footprint continued to expand:
    • Deep coverage of emerging high-performance public chains such as Jovay, Pharos, Hyperliquid, Monad, Gravity Alpha, Near, and X Layer, continuously advancing the implementation of the core ecosystem.
    • Services covered multiple leading exchanges, million-user wallets, enterprise-grade data security platforms, and other clients and scenarios, enhancing on-chain infrastructure capabilities with security, stability, and low latency as the goals.
    • Co-built with multiple leading projects across various tracks to reach technical strategic partnerships, promoting cross-ecosystem interoperability and capability reuse, and exploring new paradigms and standards for on-chain technology.

ZAN connected chains, applications, and users, driving efficient collaboration in a multi-chain world.

ZK Acceleration Reshaped the Performance Boundaries of ZKPs, with Hardware-Software Co-Optimization Driving End-to-End Ultra-Fast Evolution

  • Formed the GPU-accelerated architecture based on three proving systems—Halo2, Stwo, and Plonky3—efficiently supporting diverse applications including zkVMs, achieving over 20x performance improvement.
  • Supported two leading zkVM projects integrating with EthProofs.
  • Collaborated with StarkWare to open-source the GPU acceleration solution for Stwo + Stwo-Cairo, achieving up to 37x speedup and making significant impact in the community.
