@MinswapIntern @IOHK_Charles We have a good first approach of this already ;) github.com/p0tion-tools/c…

UPDATE CHARLES CONFIRMS POWERS OF TAU FOR CARDANO 😱😱😱 @IOHK_Charles confirmed that a Powers of Tau ceremony will play a key role in securely setting up Cardano's zero-knowledge proof infrastructure. He said the process should combine trusted initial contributions with broad community participation, allowing stake pool operators and others to help strengthen the network's zk cryptography.

@IOHK_Charles @amw7 @phil_uplc @WelfBrandolf Hola! Yes, we did the Cardano ppot ceremony last year with 40 members of the community, here are the results: github.com/p0tion-tools/c… Also brebaje, our application to coordinate the second phase MPC, is about to launch soon

@amw7 @phil_uplc @WelfBrandolf Yes, its exactly what is needed. The best practice is a two stage MPC process with a set of TEE actors (usually the core devs) and then an open process to commit like this where you can run up the numbers. Getting it to run in WASM makes it super simple to package and deploy

The core foundation of the circuits and overall architecture of the proof-tool repo published was from this repo github.com/CharlesHoskins… That @IOHK_Charles developed. It’s an absolutely massive body of work with many novel innovations, very high quality documentation and architecture of the proving system. One of the most technologically impressive codebases I have seen this year.

Self Disclosure Privacy using ZK Proofs, Demonstrated & Executed Directly on Cardano Preview I built a demo where a customer buys a beer and proves they are 18 or over, without ever showing their ID. No name. No birth year. No photo. Just maths. Two beers were ordered. Two separate transactions. The same proof, reused, no re-verification needed. The blockchain recorded "age verified" both times. That's all it knows. No name. No address. No date of birth. No photo. No personal data of any kind. This runs entirely and directly on Cardano. No sidechains. No L2s. No off-chain verification. The ZK proof is checked by the Plutus V3 validator itself, on-chain, using Groth16. And this isn't just for bars, it works for shops, website signups, any age-restricted service. One credential, reused anywhere. Self disclosure means you choose what to share, and in this case, the customer chose to share nothing except "yes, I'm old enough, give me a nice cold beer." 🍺 Massive shout out to everybody involved in the below! Aiken smart contract language on Cardano (please don't judge my Aiken... I know it's bad 😂) ak-381 by Modulo-P, Groth16 SNARK verification library for BLS12-381 on Aiken Circom + snarkjs, ZK circuit design and proof generation MeshSDK, transaction building and wallet management Blockfrost, blockchain data provider A basic demo to set the stage for further privacy enhancements that can occur directly on Cardano.

@ItsDave_ADA That's amazing, great work! 🙌

@IOHK_Charles yes!

Should I do a video on how the world financial system actually works and how we are all debt slaves?

That's awesome!

@eryxcoop @ENCOINS1 Awesome work🙌

𝗪𝗲’𝘃𝗲 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 — a privacy-enhancing protocol for mixers on Cardano. Together with @ENCOINS1 and @modp_ , we implemented a full ZK pipeline using Circom + Aiken + JS, and deployed a prototype in testnet. This unlocks auditable privacy: anyone can prove they aren't related to malicious traffic, without revealing anything else. We started by writing a research document summarizing the state of the art and defining the broad strategy for the PoI system. We aim for good code quality so then we used test-driven development both for the circuit and the validator. Finally we built a CLI to test all the system's capabilities on-chain (in testnet for now). All is open source for everyone to collaborate. Feel free to reach us if you have any doubt or comment. We have more still brewing, too. Github: github.com/eryxcoop/carda…

It was exciting working with these amazing teams!

Midgard L2 Demo @buidler_fest x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Got to showcase the @midgardprotocol PoC demo publicly coming to life for the first time in front of Cardano devs at @buidler_fest today — first sparks of a beautiful machine. It’s alive! 👾

@0xQuantive @midgardprotocol @buidler_fest @AnastasiaLabs @SwiftlyUnmoving Bora, you're the best! Great presentation!

Proposing a vision for privacy in Cardano

@eryxcoop Los mejores <3

¡Que lo cumplamos muy feliz! Lo festejaremos comiendo panchitos y papitas, como corresponde. A ustedes les toca la parte de mandarnos saludos, los leemos 👀 👇 🍻Chin chin por esta cooperativa!

Support Privacy ✅Privacy is a right that allows users to control their data and fosters a censorship-resilient network. ✅Privacy-focused protocols across the crypto ecosystem represent over $8B in market cap—roughly one-third of Cardano's own. And overall, is a huge ecosystem with many developers and users. ✅Ethereum has a privacy roadmap, supported by the Ethereum Foundation and Vitalik Buterin. In contrast, Cardano currently holds a weak position in the privacy space. ¿How to bring more privacy capabilities to Cardano? General privacy protocol: Development of base protocol that has multiple applications such as voting, private identity verification and mixing. A Descentralized Relay Network: Development of a network of relays that ensure user anonymity. How will this benefit Cardano? ✅ Strengthen Cardano as a more privacy platform. ✅ Increase the Cardano ecosystem growth. Makes Cardano attractive for ZK developers (~2000/month according to developerreport.com) and users that require privacy. ✅ It will inject liquidity into the Cardano ecosystem. Attracts privacy-seeking capital (~$8B+) and potential institutional flows. ✅ Privacy is a Core Crypto Value Together with @modp_ we have the experience to Make Cardano Cypherpunk Again.

@ENCOINS1 Fuck yeah!

Attention Cardano fam! Important event! 🔥🔥🔥 We are looking for contributors for the Phase-2 setup ceremony of our Cardano Semaphore port. The ceremony will take place from November 18th to December 4th. There will be rewards for 100 contributors, each receiving 100 ADA. What is a trusted setup ceremony? A trusted setup ceremony is a multi-party computation process required to derive the public keys used to construct Zero-Knowledge proofs. The derivation of these keys is crucial for generating valid proofs securely. Therefore, we will conduct this ceremony to generate the keys for the first release of our port. How does the ceremony work? The ceremony involves a sequence of random contributions that together serve as secret inputs for the derivation of the keys. Each participant contributes a secret random input to the process, and the ceremony is considered safe if at least one participant discards their secret contribution. In practice, contributing will consist in downloading a cli-program and type a random array of characters in a creative manner. As you will notice is very easy to contribute. You can participate by joining the ZkHub Discord channel, in this link you will find a channel with instructions to participate: discord.com/channels/13041… Lastly, we deeply appreciate all the support from the Cardano community! If you like our work, consider taking a look at our recent proposal for the upcoming Catalyst round: tinyurl.com/3dyv9he5 Greets!!! 🫰 Modulo-p team
