ICICLE is also ideal for developing small prototypes. ICICLE has Golang and Rust bindings so you can easily develop a library implementing a specific primitive using ICICLE. An example would be develop a KZG commitment library using ICICLE.


## Dont have access to a GPU?

We understand that not all developers have access to a GPU and we don't want this to limit anyone from developing with ICICLE. Here are some ways we can help you gain access to GPUs.

#### Grants
### Grants

At Ingonyama we are interested in accelerating the progress of ZK and cryptography. If are an engineer, developer or an academic researcher we invite you to checkout [our grant program](https://www.ingonyama.com/blog/icicle-for-researchers-grants-challenges). We will give you access to GPUs and even pay you to do your dream research!

#### Google Colab
### Google Colab

This is a great way to get started with ICICLE instantly. Google Colab offers free GPU access the down side being that the GPU doesn't have a lot of RAM but it should be enough for experimenting and even prototyping with ICICLE.

For an extensive guide on how to setup Google Colab with ICICLE refer to [this article](https://github.com/gkigiermo/rust-cuda-colab).

If none of these options are appropriate for you reach out to us on [telegram](https://t.me/RealElan) we will do our best to help you.

### Vast.ai

[Vast.ai](https://vast.ai/) is a global GPU marketplace where you can rent many different types of GPUs by the hour for [competitive pricing](https://vast.ai/pricing). They provide on-demand and interruptible rentals depending on your need or use case; you can learn more about their rental types [here](https://vast.ai/faq#rental-types).
