Happy 2nd anniversary to our friends and partners @worldnetwork @tfh_technology @worldcoinfnd for this milestone that shows what’s possible when privacy, scale, and purpose come together to bring this powerful vision to reality.

This week, we'll be hosting an online webinar to dive into our security measures, and you're invited! We'll be joined by auditing collaborators from @immunefi, @zellic_io, @trailofbits, and @OpenZeppelin. 🗓 Save the date: October 25th, at 9:00AM EST. crowdcast.io/c/scroll-secur…

After more than two years of building, we are thrilled to announce the launch of Scroll Mainnet. As we open the doors to Mainnet, we want to take a moment to reflect on our journey thus far 💛

gm Scrollers! Scroll has a fresh new look and we're thrilled to share our brand new website and documentation site with you. Let's jump into what inspired this transformation. 🧵 👇

We are entering the Beta phase of our journey with the launch of our Sepolia testnet, the final stage before mainnet. The improvements for this release fall into three categories: - zkEVM upgrades - Bridge upgrades - Infrastructure upgrades 🧵

Happy to share an experiment I've been working on recently: zkpod.ai (follow @zkpodai). It's an @OpenAI-powered bot which has access to all @zeroknowledgefm episodes, with the ability to answer questions. It's hacky and experimental, so be gentle please 🫣. 1/9

Today's zero-knowledge proofs have a big bottleneck: proof generation is slow and expensive. Why is proof generation slow and expensive? Can it be accelerated? Learn all about proof generation in our new technical blog post: scroll.io/blog/proofGene…

With a full room of the ZKProof community members we are about to start the first #ZKPRoof community event in Amsterdam!

Eran Tromer and @BenarrochDaniel "led a workshop about the @zkproof standardization effort, focusing on zkInterface as well as needs that can benefit from zkProof attention going future." community.zkproof.org/t/zkproof-work… #Zcon1

The discussions from the 2nd ZKProof Workshop will be continued at #Zcon1. If you want to help advance the standardization effort, join the workshop.

ZKSummit lands in 4 days! If you are a dev or researcher working in the space, come catch Aurelien Nicolas from @qeditzkp and @zkproof sharing an update on zkstandards & @Shamatar from @the_matter_labs talking about #Sonic SNARKs Apply here --> goo.gl/forms/RxZyod7w… … #zk0x03

We want to thank once more all of our sponsors who are essential to pushing the effort forward. #ZKProof #standards
