@jieyilong @Theta_Network Excellent work Jieyi!

Excited to share that my research work “Interstellar: Efficient GKR-based IVC Scheme with Privacy-Preserving Collaborative Folding” conducted at Theta Labs @Theta_Network has recently been accepted to PKC 2026! PKC (Public-Key Cryptography Conference) is one of the premier cryptography venues organized by the IACR (International Association for Cryptologic Research, iacr.org). IACR conferences represent the gold standard of academic cryptography research, so it’s a big honor to have this work accepted. This is also my first first-authored paper accepted at a major cryptography conference! The paper introduces Interstellar, a new framework for folding schemes and Incrementally Verifiable Computation (IVC) — a key primitive that that has recently attracted significant attention from researchers and is beginning to see widespread adoption in modern recursive zkSNARK systems for scalable blockchains and verifiable computing. Check it out: eprint.iacr.org/2025/1294 Key idea Most modern folding-based IVC systems (Nova, HyperNova, Protostar, etc.) operate on constraint systems and require commitments to the entire execution trace of a circuit. This leads to expensive prover costs dominated by large vector commitments and MSM operations. Interstellar takes a different approach. Instead of committing to the full trace, it works directly with circuit satisfiability and combines a new technique called circuit interpolation and the GKR protocol for circuit verification. This allows the prover to commit only to the actual witness inputs, avoiding commitments to the full computation trace and eliminating cross-term vectors used in many prior folding schemes. Result Because vector commitments are the main cost in folding-based IVC, reducing them yields substantial speedups. Across representative workloads: 1.59× – 6.74× prover speedup per folding round for parallel workloads (e.g., matrix multiplication) up to 2.93× speedup for serialized workloads (e.g., MiMC hash chains) Additional features Interstellar also supports several capabilities needed for real-world zk systems: high-degree gates lookup gates multi-instance folding efficient non-uniform IVC (important for zkVMs and zkML) A new primitive: Collaborative Folding / IVC The paper also introduces a novel cryptography primitive called Collaborative Folding/IVC, which allows multiple provers with disjoint private witnesses to jointly generate recursive proofs without revealing their private inputs. This enables new settings such as: privacy-preserving distributed computation multi-party recursive proof generation federated or cross-organization verifiable computation Why this matters Recursive proof systems are becoming foundational infrastructure for zkVMs, rollups, verifiable AI / zkML, and scalable blockchain verification. Interstellar provides a new design option in the folding-IVC landscape that significantly reduces prover cost while enabling distributed proof generation. If you’re interested in folding schemes, recursive SNARKs, or verifiable computation, I’d love to hear feedback from the cryptography and blockchain community!

@pumpolinsky $THETA it is

@TheBitcoinConf @Cointelegraph $BCH is money 😉

@Cointelegraph Not fair. Bitcoin is money.

🚨 FACT: Every time an American buys a $4 coffee with Bitcoin, they technically owe the IRS a capital gains report. Is that fair?

TDROP can now be used to pay for GPU compute on Theta EdgeCloud. 💧 Developers, researchers, and enterprises can use TDROP for AI training, inference, API calls, and any other workload on the platform. 🧵

New TDROP utility announced 🚀

@Justinpacete @Theta_Network No way

Seems like @Theta_Network Community is slowly dwindling down. Sad to see. but still hoping for the best.

@MrAltcoinsAllen All or nothing. Let’s see how it goes Buddy.

@TweetSion Great job

How much worse can it get for ALTCOINS right now people By the looks of things a lot WORSE I mean no reason at all for things to be dumping this year and we find ourselves at rock bottom Interesting to see what happens in FEB/MAR Any thoughts people. #Altcoins $THETA $BTC $S

We happy to be contributing to the @Theta_Network. Running validators feels like a natural extension of what we already do every day, operate critical infrastructure with reliability and security as the baseline.
