Supranational

Wormhole Foundation has awarded a Contributor Grant to @_Supranational for Wormhole ZK hardware acceleration. This step is crucial for minimizing trust and enhancing security of the multichain ecosystem powered by @Wormhole.

1) Faster/Cheaper implementations of Groth16 Proofs are a large cost for Storage Providers in Filecoin, so we spent engineering time to make them faster. See 2021 numbers: twitter.com/Filecoin/statu… Only this year we have a 6x speedup thanks to @_Supranational!

We are excited to announce our partnership with Supranational, working on the next iteration of VDFs (you all lovingly know them as Timelords) to help make our PoST network better than ever! businesswire.com/news/home/2021…

🔊This week, we cover hardware for ZKPs and VDFs! @AnnaRRose & @tarunchitra chat with Simon Peffers & @kellymolson from @_Supranational. They share their knowledge of FPGAs, ASICs and how it all ties into Moore’s law, ZK cryptography and blockchains! zeroknowledge.fm/170

Introducing 'blst', a BLS12-381 signature library medium.com/supranational/…

This is the first post in a series of progress blogs by Principal Researcher Joey Dodds (@n1nj4.) He introduces the ‘blst’ BLS verification project, a new collaboration between Galois, @_Supranational, @protocollabs, and @ethereum. Check it out: buff.ly/3c7oWjZ
