If you haven't done so yet check out Part I for the first part of this blog post, where we give some background on zkVMs and discuss the capabilities of a zkVM that we need or want a proof system to enable. Here, we continue by looking at

At the heart of the every zkVM is a proving scheme that turns a trace of a computation into an efficiently verifiable proof of its execution. This choice of proof system is one of the defining design decisions for a zkVM – it impacts speed, security, interoperability, and suitability for a
