A solidity implementation of a 🪿 H 🪿 O 🪿 N 🪿 K 🪿 SNARK Verifier (Sumcheck + Zeromorph with KZG). Anon, Noir + Honk is coming faster than you'd think code -> github.com/Maddiaa0/honk-…

We were early backers of @tether, @circle & @Paxos Now every fund is bullposting stablecoin data $300B+ stables, $33T of volume etc But there’s been surprisingly little business analysis Who makes money? Who doesn't? Why? I pulled together our thinking below👇

@jonah_b This might have been me but sometimes I like to send this guy

crypto is the only industry where you meet someone at an event. there’s a chance you do millions in business together, so you scan their telegram QR code, and then it defaults you into sending a flirty bear sticker

@cooper_kunz bls

@Maddiaa0 wdym? aztec currently uses commonware?

great to see the day i met patrick i wanted to invest in commonware. the bls sigs he was talking about aligned a lot with our research at aztec at the time (eg. forum.aztec.network/t/bls-validati…) and would likely be used if redesigned at the right time long patrick, long commonware

Introducing Assay, risk markets for onchain finance. Every DeFi yield has a risk price. The problem is that the market cannot see it. Assay makes that risk tradeable through markets for specific onchain conditions like depegs and rate spikes resolved from chain state.

@JetJadeja these are the same constraints as memecoins no?

shocked that so many people have yet to realize how terrible the unit economics are on prediction market "pro terminals" - retail users don't spend - crowd price is the signal - no proprietary data moat could go on for hours

After 6 months of work, we're proud to finally share our first release of our new smart contract language: Plank v0.1 🚀 To fix the fundamental issues plaguing smart contract development we're rebuilding the language stack from the ground up. 🏗️ Learn more 👇

@jtriley2p likely ios only as the andriod certificate chain is wild. Many OEM keys are leaked. They literally have a bad keys.txt they publish every so often that you need to keep up to date whenever they find problematic OEM keys

@jtriley2p the fundamental thing here is that you can't trust the image on a jailbroken device. assuming no jailbreaks exist here - zkpassport for facematch did the same thing but better months ago - the proof gets generated locally, revealing no metadata

app's closed sauce + ios only :( sdk's oss + has hole :3 steps: --- 1. img captured 2. img written to disk 3. c2pa manifest gen'd 4. img + c2pa signed 5. (optional) send to succinct's prover net hole: --- there's a gap between capturing the img & signing, an impl'r can ai-gen an img, forge c2pa manifest, sign it, & gen an sp1 proof about it other stuff to know: --- apple attests to signer's p256 pub key from secure enclave sp1 proof exposes only img hash, app id, & apple root cert; BUT succinct prover sees device id, sig bytes, raw img bytes, & metadata (sus)

@DeanEigenmann @centrifuge @EnsoBuild @makinafi royco / boyco I believe

we've upgraded the weiroll repo to use foundry, weiroll now powers @centrifuge, @EnsoBuild & @makinafi anyone i'm missing? github.com/weiroll/weiroll

@CiaraNightingal @aztecnetwork @aztecFND huge

I have an exciting announcement: I have officially joined @aztecnetwork as part of the @aztecFND as a Technical Educator 🩷 At Aztec, I will be doing exactly what I have been doing up until now: making it as easy and fun as possible to be a developer. Only now, I will be focussing on helping developers build apps with programmable privacy on Aztec For blockchains to get mainstream adoption, we need decentralisation and privacy. With Aztec this is now finally possible. I want to do my bit to make sure all the smartest people can get inspired to build on Aztec and hopefully have a fab experience while doing so. So, I will be creating content, supporting the ecosystem, working on the devex and more🤍 I am both sad to be leaving @cyfrin and excited for this next chapter. I feel so lucky to have been able to work with such an awesome team and want to say thank you to everyone I have worked with at Cyfrin - I can’t wait to see what you guys all do next 🫶🏼 so much love to you. Thank you @PatrickAlphaC for being the best mentor 🩵 I also just wanted to say a big thank you to @Arnaudschenk and @alejoamiras for this opportunity. I feel so lucky to be able to work on such an awesome project with such talented people. gAztec and lmk if you wanna build some privacy dapps 🔥 let’s get it party people

WE ARE HIRING send me what you did in the past and what makes you excited about Agentic Commerce DMs are open

@LauriPelto @badcryptobitch @rel_zeta_tech @sergeyshemyakov @aztecnetwork @dcbuilder aztec itself uses chonk everywhere apart from the final proof on l1 where it uses honk with zk-disabled

@LauriPelto @badcryptobitch @rel_zeta_tech @sergeyshemyakov @aztecnetwork @dcbuilder it just reduces the cost of chain verification at the end; its been live since the CCA auction where the optimized verifier was used to verify all of the zk passport proofs

Here we go. Circom + snarkjs proving decided for our project.

@LauriPelto @badcryptobitch @rel_zeta_tech @sergeyshemyakov @aztecnetwork @dcbuilder for zk honk. --optimized flag should exist for the --disable-zk verifier

@Maddiaa0 @badcryptobitch @rel_zeta_tech @sergeyshemyakov @aztecnetwork @dcbuilder Interesting. For which prover? Honk?

@jimjim_eth zk verifier will have an optimized variant soon that should be well under 1m

PLONK!!! I WANT PLONK!!! I will rewrite everything in circom. I am not paying 4 million gas!!!

@LauriPelto @badcryptobitch @rel_zeta_tech @sergeyshemyakov @aztecnetwork @dcbuilder on the gas cost discussions from the thread above, I've a pr im hoping to get merged soon which cuts on-chain verification by >3x

@badcryptobitch @rel_zeta_tech @sergeyshemyakov @aztecnetwork @dcbuilder Heh. Nahh, probably no Circom, hopefully will get to Noir this time - haven't gotten that far in decisions yet. If PeoveKit is as easy as they claim (which I somehow doubt), Noir should be an easy choice.

@recmo @EUdigitalID @NoirLang @madztheo !!!!!

The EU @EUdigitalID picked @NoirLang for their ZK identity app, and you should too! github.com/eu-digital-ide…

@notawizard e l e c t r i c

this was the first "hackathon" i attended since moving to sf and now i’m worried it permanently destroyed my baseline for what a hackathon is supposed to achieve
