🔵 Introducing GIGACHAIN: The Parallel Blockchain Today, we’re unveiling Gigachain — the first blockchain to achieve trustless parallel execution. No more fragmented solutions to scaling and computation. Just massive scale and decentralization. gigachain.com

House of ZK Radio #33: Alberto Garoffolo, Head of ZK Tech at Telos Foundation - now available on Spotify and YouTube 🔲🔳 In this episode we sit down with @agaroffolo, Head of ZK Tech at the @HelloTelos. With over 15 years of experience in software engineering, he specializes in Zero Knowledge proofs, notably contributing to Telos’ SNARKtor and co-authoring the Zendoo and Latus white papers on decentralized sidechains 🤝

🛠️ Ready to test SNARKtor in action? Jump into the ZK Battleship game and experience privacy-first gameplay! Our step-by-step guide will help you get started in no time. ⚓ 📖 Follow the guide here: 🔗 telos.net/post/getting-s…

Our mad scientists have been busy in the lab! 👨‍🔬 @agaroffolo has launched SNARKtor LIVE on Testnet! This marks a major leap towards: 🔹 Industry-best ZK scaling 🔹 Novel utility & privacy-based applications in the Telos ecosystem 🛳 Play a ZK-powered game of Battleship & see SNARKtor in action where your privacy is the key to success!! 🔗battleship.telos.net

Yes correct, you can see the Dex somehow like an L2. But there are many other use cases where for example you can implement polls where there is no need to trust the results claimed by the company that executed the poll (the fact that are individual votes is enforced by proof). Or you can implement a credit score system based on zk allowing to create a decentralized and global loans system.

Example: 1.A trader swaps TLOS for USDC on a dex. 2.Instead of settling this trade directly on Telos, the dex bundles thousands of trades into a single proof. 3.A ZK-SNARK (validity proof) is generated, confirming that all trades are correct. 4.The proof is submitted to Telos, and all transactions in the batch are finalized instantly. So the proof was generated by the dex? No need to be validated and it is trusted as is by layer 1? Am I understanding? Thx

💎 A major milestone is about to be unlocked! 🔓 ☕️ Let’s recap on SNARKtor with Alberto (The Italian Stallion) as his developments prepare to unlock new utilities for trustless scalability and privacy on Telos. More next week🧑‍💻🛳️

@Michael98486496 @HelloTelos Users or layer2 proofs are merged recursively by protocol. We leverage recursive proof composition so there is no need for someone to validate the single proofs as their validity is proven by the recursive circuit.

@HelloTelos @agaroffolo Bello, this is great! Curious, who issues and who validates the proof? Also can you give a DeFi or gamefi example. The passport example is great but the adoption is out of reach and I’m curious how this can be used today. Thx

Proud to announce the open-source release of Plonky2 Goldibear now supporting Goldilocks & BabyBear fields with efficient recursive proof composition. github.com/telosnetwork/p… #ZK #Plonky2 #OpenSource #Plonky2Goldibear

It was an honor to present #SNARKtor and the PoC on the main stage of @EthCC. I would like to thank the @HelloTelos team for making this possible and Roman Oliynykov and Dmytro Kaidalov of @InputOutputHK who collaborated on the paper!

Presenting: A Decentralized Aggregation Protocol for Scaling SNARKs Verification on chain Our Head of ZK Tech, @agaroffolo, unveiled #SNARKtor at @EthCC Brussels on the main stage. In case you missed it, here's a breakdown of the best parts 👇🧵

Day 2 of @EthCC – each day gets better with the #Telos team on the ground. Our Head of zk Tech, @agaroffolo, presented #SNARKtor at @0xPolygon's Aggregation Day. As @ChiefOfTelos says, "Polygon has the AggLayer, $TLOS has the #AlbertoLayer." Stay tuned for more POC alpha. 😌

GM 🌞 Day 3 at @EthCC and we're thinking, what better way to start the day than at the #Telos booth? We've got Battleship, merch and a hardware-accelerated zkEVM L2. 😏

Happening now! 💎 @agaroffolo takes the main stage at @EthCC showcasing #SNARKtor. Tune in 👉 ethcc.io/live/grand

If you're attending @EthCC drop by the Telos booth to see our #SNARKtor POC in action. 👇 📍 Olympus in the EthCC[7] Sponsors Hall, located in the ATLANTIS Block, Level -2 of the venue.

The booth is buzzing with the team all on deck. 🫡 And look at that Telos merch—who knew hardware accelerated zkEVM L2s could look this good?
