Vitalik calls on ZK and FHE developers to measure efficiency loss by "performance ratio"

ChainCatcher news, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin stated in a post that he hopes more zero-knowledge proof (ZK) and fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) developers can present performance overhead in terms of the "ratio of encrypted computation time to raw computation time," rather than simply describing performance as "number of executions per second."

He pointed out that this approach is more hardware-independent and can also help developers assess the efficiency trade-off when shifting applications from "trust dependence" to "cryptographic security." Vitalik believes that even if heterogeneous operations cause the ratio to still be affected by hardware, the overhead factor remains a more informative metric.
