FAQ - zkTestnet
As of now, we have a built-in optimized System Program for the following:
- Transfers & unshields (SOL/SPL) => 1 Solana tx (400ms) + 1-2.5s proof generation
- Shields (SOL) => 1 Solana tx (400ms) + 1-2.5s proof generation
And a not-yet optimized System Program for:
- SPL shields => 2 Solana txs (800ms) + 1-2.5s proof generation
Note that proof generation time varies based on the user's device.
You may notice that currently, the methods
shield
, transfer
and unshield
of the user
class are slower than what is described above. That's because user methods currently still await the full closure of the process (the point at which the outputs of a transfer can be spent again). The above benchmarks account for the point at which the correctness of the transfer is mathematically verified and guaranteed and the transfer inputs are spent.
It runs a
solana-test-validator
instance on Kubernetes.
Soon. We'll harden Testnet over the next weeks and months, add new features, and improve performance and developer experience.
