Reported by Cointelegraph, the semiconductor developer Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is bringing enterprise-grade hardware accelerators into the Web3 space to support blockchain interoperability.
On Feb. 21, the interoperability platform Wormhole — known for powering multichain applications and bridges at scale — announced a collaboration with AMD to bring its FPGA hardware accelerators to the Wormhole ecosystem.
The partnership will also have AMD employ its expertise in hardware acceleration and technical support to the ecosystem to help with speed and scalability for multichain applications being built with Wormhole.
Additionally, in the months following, engineers from both AMD and Wormhole plan to release mainnet deployments of various zero-knowledge light clients. This will allow trustless message-passing to be enabled between blockchains including Ethereum, Near, Solana, Aptos, Sui and Cosmos.
The advancements of zero-knowledge cryptography, coupled with enhanced computing power, create a combination that supports more secure blockchain transfers and reducing the reliance on third-party entities to establish trust and security.
Wormhole said the adoption of zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) will help reduce its reliance on centralized node operators in favor of a trustless solution.
