Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said the Poseidon hash function family has created significant practical value in Ethereum and beyond. Modern privacy protocols rely on Poseidon to generate SNARK proofs quickly on the client side. Universal STARKs now achieve extremely high performance, with batch computation proof overhead down to three digits, and could drop to double digits or lower, exceeding early 2020s expectations.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated that the Poseidon hash function family, after years of development, has created significant practical value in Ethereum and other fields, and will continue to play a role in the coming years.
Vitalik noted that modern privacy protocols can quickly generate SNARK proofs on the client side, and Poseidon is a key reason. He pointed out that universal STARKs now achieve extremely high performance, with proof overhead for almost any batch computation down to three digits. In the future, this overhead could drop to double digits or even lower, a progress that exceeds the expectations of the early 2020s.
