SETTLEMENT
Karnot research
Going beyond the limits.
We’re building faster execution, larger markets and stronger privacy into the next generation of onchain finance.
1
A new ceiling for ZK execution.
Our Rust engine benchmarks at compute equivalent to roughly 200,000 transfers per second, without parallelization. We’re building on this result to push the limits of high-performance exchanges with ZK settlement.
2
Options at unprecedented scale.
We’re taking on Ethereum’s data availability limits to unlock hundreds of thousands of options markets. Built on leading ZK ecosystems, our research aims to bring the scale of global derivatives markets onchain.
3
Ethereum liquidity, without the wait.
We’re actively working on sub-minute Ethereum verification and settlement so onchain markets can access L1 liquidity faster. This could let people trade, borrow and lend across systems without long settlement delays.
GRIDY / LIVE EXPERIMENT
Breaking L2BEAT’s throughput record.
Gridy sustained over 200 TPS for 24 hours, setting L2BEAT’s record at the time for the highest sustained throughput of any Layer 2.
FINTERNET / PAST COLLABORATION
Privacy at scale.
We worked closely with the team behind India’s UPI and Aadhaar on Finternet, leading ZK design and benchmarking. Our UNITS work combined private transaction processing with 7,282 TPS in a ZK-proven benchmark, with final state published to Ethereum.
OUR WORK, ON THE GLOBAL STAGE
Nandan Nilekani on the Finternet benchmark.
The benchmark Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani refers to was designed and run by Karnot. We led the ZK design and performance testing behind Finternet’s 7,282 TPS result.
Built for the long term
Independent by choice.
Bootstrapped from day one. Years of commercial work sustain our investment in ZK research, production infrastructure and new products. Built without venture capital.
Serious infrastructure.
Built together.
Bring us your toughest execution, proving and scaling problems. Work directly with the engineers building the stack.
