Vitalik posted calling for ZK and FHE developers to measure efficiency loss by "performance ratio."

ChainCatcher message, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin stated that he hopes more developers of zero-knowledge proofs (ZK) and fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) can present performance overhead using the "ratio of computational encrypted time to original computational time," rather than just describing performance in terms of "executions per second."

He pointed out that this approach is more hardware-independent and can help developers assess the efficiency trade-offs when transitioning applications from "trust reliance" to "encrypted security." Vitalik believes that even if heterogeneous operations lead to ratios still influenced by hardware, the overhead factor remains a more informative metric.
