Benchmarked February 2026 - Single MacBook Pro

Sub-5ms authentication
at 1,000 concurrent sessions

FHE encryption, ZK proofs, biometric verification, and quantum signatures - all under load, all with zero errors. These numbers are our floor, not our ceiling. Benchmarked on a single MacBook Pro. Production cloud hardware only goes up from here.

Concurrency Testing

Fast at any load. On a laptop.

Single MacBook Pro (Apple M4 Max). No cloud infrastructure, no GPU offloading, no distributed cluster. Production deployments on multi-core cloud instances scale linearly from here.

Benchmark Hardware
MacBook Pro - Apple M4 Max
Single laptop. No cloud instances. No GPU acceleration. No distributed cluster. These are the numbers you get before any infrastructure investment.
Production Deployment
This is the floor, not the ceiling
Production cloud instances (96+ cores, dedicated memory) scale linearly. Horizontal scaling across nodes multiplies throughput with no architectural changes.
Operation Latency

Every operation, measured.

Median latency at 200 concurrent users on a single MacBook Pro. Each operation runs over fully homomorphic encrypted data.

Under The Hood

Why it stays fast at scale.

Architecture decisions that make a single MacBook Pro outperform distributed FHE clusters.

POOL
Pre-warmed FHE Contexts
BFV and CKKS contexts with NTT tables built at startup, shared via zero-copy references. No per-request initialization cost.
LOCK-FREE
Atomic Concurrency
Lock-free data structures for rate limiting, usage tracking, and auth metering. Write contention eliminated from the hot path.
COALESCE
Compute Deduplication
Identical FHE operations within a time window are computed once and broadcast to all waiters. Turns O(N) into O(unique).
CACHE
ZK Circuit Caching
R1CS circuits and verification keys cached after first generation. Batch verification with parallel parsing for logarithmic-time proof checks.
ARC
Zero-Copy Keys
400KB+ FHE key sets shared via reference counting instead of deep copying. Nanosecond access under any concurrency level.
SIMD
Packed Ciphertexts
Biometric vectors packed into BFV slots for parallel encrypted computation. Up to 8x throughput on batch operations.
How We Compare

Different league.

H33 on a single laptop delivers the full post-quantum stack in less time than competitors take for a single operation on production infrastructure.

Capability H33 Nearest Competitor Advantage
Biometric Verification 220us (Turbo) Onfido - seconds ~1000x faster
FHE Encryption 150us Zama - 100x slower 100x faster
ZK Proof Generation 267us (cached) RISC Zero - 44+ sec 165,000x faster
Quantum Signatures 99us (Dilithium) - No competitor
