 Blitzar was created by the core cryptography team at [Space and Time](https://www.spaceandtime.io/) to accelerate Proof of SQL, a novel zero-knowledge proof for SQL operations. After surveying our options for a GPU acceleration framework, we realized that Proof of SQL needed something better… so we built Blitzar. Now, Proof of SQL runs with a 3.2 second proving time against a million-row table on a single GPU, and it’s only getting faster.
 
 We’ve open-sourced Blitzar to provide the Web3 community with a faster and more
-robust framework for building GPU-accelerated zk-proofs. We’re excited to open

 #### Overview
 Blitzar-rs is a High-Level rust wrapper for the [blitzar-sys crate](https://github.com/spaceandtimelabs/blitzar/tree/main/rust/blitzar-sys) for accelerating cryptographic zero-knowledge proof algorithms on the CPU and GPU.
