Strengths and weaknesses
Pros
  • 100+ supported blockchains
  • Free tier includes 30M compute units monthly
  • Enterprise SLAs reach 99.995% availability
  • RPC, indexed data and wallet APIs share one platform
  • Compiles native Rust programs into ZK proofs without custom circuit logic
  • Secures over $13.5B across rollups and bridges including Base and Chainlink
  • Audited by firms including KALOS, Cantina, and Zellic
  • Aggregated verification reduces onchain gas requirements below 200K gas
Cons
  • Applications face centralised provider and outage exposure
  • Proprietary APIs can increase vendor lock-in
  • Pay As You Go charges scale with compute usage
  • Automated agent wallets add transaction-control risk
  • Frozen mainnet verifier routers were required to patch January 2025 vulnerabilities
  • On-demand proving market depends on decentralized prover node liveness and the PROVE token
  • Complex multi-GPU setups are required for self-hosted real-time block proving
Best forMultichain application teams, Solana developers, Account-abstraction productsRollup teams implementing ZK validity proofs, Developers writing Rust verifiable computing applications, Bridges requiring trustless cross-chain state verification
